Well we are going to have elections when we should have left in March. It will be interesting to see how the pro Remain and Pro Brexit parties do. I think The Brexit party will be the single biggest UK party or at least I hope so. UKIP are already the biggest UK voting block, and that's been one of our problems in influencing the EU as they pretty much reject everything (A bit like MPs in parliament and the British voting public). I do think the time line is potentially shaping up in the UKs favour. The EU election will be split between UKIP/Brexit and Lib Dem/Change UK. The Tories have been toxic over this issues for decades and Labour have no real policy or idea what they want to do. After a heavy defeat in the EU elections May will be kicked out, Corbyn should but never will because of momentums poisonous grip on the party. The EU definitely don't want to kick us out without a deal. They are running scared of that that scenario. They also won't kick us out without a PM. If May is kicked out after the EU elections we won't have enough time to sort a deal before MEPs take their seats. That means we'll have a huge leave, and a huge remain block in the European parliament. One will be chasing EU reform, the other for us to leave. This will be the best chance for the EU to reform. If they continue to bury their head in the sand over the inherent problems with the EU, then there's no point staying in.

I definitely see most of the UKIP vote going to the Brexit Party and a sizeable number of Tory votes too. Labour doesn't really have a clear remain message , so maybe the Lib Dems will get some of their vote. The Change Party is too non specific too so I can't see them making inroads. I'd be shocked if the Brexit Party doesn't get the most seats by a decent margin. Labour second most.

It's going to be interesting yet tediously boring at the same time. The only thing we can be certain of is that after shorting the pound during the referendum, currency speculator Nigel is certain to make lots of money. Funny how after conceding defeat on the night of the referendum he's now vowing to never give up fighting for brexit.

Why is what Farage may or may not want to do with the NHS important when he's not going to be in a position to affect change on it. If he were running for Tory leader you might have a point. However, the EU's powergrab within member states means that the NHS question is a genuine concern to bring up.

Leaving aside the fact that Farage didn't actually say that isn't this what "taking back control" is all about. It's all well and good a British politician making suggestions about how best to run one of our institutions but it's quite another when it's unelected pissheads in Europe telling us what we should be doing in our country
