THE BRITISH ELECTION UNPLUGGED:   WHAT DO DONALD AND NIGEL GET FOR ALLOWING BORIS TO WIN?




(POSTED AT 3AM EASTERN US,  8 AM UK TIME)


"I'd like to see Boris and you get together cause you really have some good numbers...."


Donald Trump speaks to Nigel Farage on his radio show October 31st



Back in October Nigel Farage's Brexit Party had support levels around 12 or 13 percent going into the campaign for the General Election.


But then Farage decided to heed Donald Trump's advice and take unilateral actions to implement the idea to "get together" with Boris.

For starters Farage himself announced he would not be a candidate for the House of Commons.

Then he pulled the Brexit Party out of seats where the Conservatives won in the last election.

All this enabled the Conservative Party to have more than 300 seats safe from any meaningful challenge on the "Right" and to focus its energies on the handful of seats it will need to move over the 326 seat thresh hold to give Boris Johnson a majority government.

Johnson claims that he is implementing Brexit with his election but Nigel Farage already stated clearly going the election campaign that Johnson's plan:


"is not Brexit"


Both he and President Trump agreed that the Johnson plan does not allow for free unrestricted trade between the UK and the US yet both were supportive of Johnson with Mr. Trump speaking the words and Mr. Farage taking the actions.


What's the deal?


What are they getting for this?


Perhaps Farage gets a title like "Sir Nigel" or something along that line for throwing the towel for Boris.    Maybe Nigel will get more media gigs with large salaries.


As for President Trump perhaps more British cooperation on certain issues including the British intelligence figures who are involved in tampering with the US Presidential election in 2016.

Yes that's an example of real foreign interference as British MI 6 associated individuals helped to launch the Russian collusion probe against President Trump and his supporters.


Well with Nigel Farage and the Brexit Party out of the way the Conservative Party could focus its energy on the Labor Party in the campaign.

The media obliging by staging debates unlike others in the past.    Debates that only featured Boris Johnson of the Conservative Party and Jeremy Corbyn of Labor.

Big business globalist interests not interested in Jeremy Corbyn's vision of economics and pro-Israel forces not wanting a Palestinian sympathizer leading the UK teaming up to tear him down.


The polling data now points to a Conservative Party victory with a majority allowing Boris Johnson to push through his Brexit plan that is far from the kind of Brexit envisioned by Brexit activists.   Its a plan that keeps the UK very much entangled with the EU.

Another factor in the race is the Scottish National Party which won 35 seats in the last election.    The polling data points to gains for the SNP which will bring it up over 40 seats out of the 650 in the House of Commons.

Scottish nationalism serves the Conservative Party well sucking away votes from traditional Labor areas in Scotland.

"Our electoral system is rotten to the core"



The words of Caroline Lucas, leader of the Green Party, who held onto her seat in the House of Commons but it was no surprise that the Labor Party was a big loser tonight and Boris Johnson was the winner with no effective pro-Brexit opposition on the Right.


Johnson now has a majority in the House of Commons and appears able to push through his Brexit plans with the European Union that have been described as "not Brexit" by pro-Brexit activists.



(1155 PM EASTERN US TIME, 455 AM UK TIME)


Jeremy Corbyn has said that he will not lead the Labor Party in future elections.  Corbyn a political casaulty of the night with the Labor Party expected to lose dozens of seats in the House of Commons and have fewer than 200 when all the results are counted.
