Nigel Farage refuses to stand at election - James O'Brien reacts | LBC

Nigel Farage has said that he will not stand at the UK's general election in July, with his sights set on supporting Donald Trump's campaign to be re-elected as US president.
Mr Farage, who has previously stood for election to the House of Commons several times, has faced several calls to stand for right-wing party Reform UK, which he co-founded.
Mr Farage said that although the UK's general election was "important", US voters' choice between Mr Trump and Joe Biden in November has "huge global significance".
James O'Brien analyses what he thinks this means and why Farage is doing this...

    I'd put it another way - it's a majority of the English electorate who are to blame. As a nation, Scotland voted 62% to remain in the EU and we haven't voted for a Tory government at Westminster since 1955. Despite this we have been dragged out of the EU against our will and of the 16 GEs since 1959 England got the govt it voted for 16 times (100%) but Scotland got the govt it voted for only 6 times (37%). This is what Scots mean by democratic deficit. Is it any wonder that around 50% of us want to dissolve this "Voluntary" UK union?

    PS, J O'B asked, "Who started the decline of the UK?" For me it has to be, Thatcher and the US Neoliberal economics of, Milton Friedman/Greenspan etc, known as, ''Reaganomics'' (trickledown neoliberal economics). Since then it has been a downhill slide for the poorest and working classes of the hoi polloi public and a sharp upward curve for the banksters, owners and wealthy shareholders etc etc. Thatcher deregulated the financial services & banks etc, with her, "Big Bang" of 1986. This allowed big bonuses for bankers and shareholders etc. The Big Bang was the result of an agreement made in 1983 by Thatcher & Co and the London Stock Exchange. And so to speak, "the rest is history".

    Not really. Cameron got 37% of the vote which gave the Tories a majority of seats in parliament. He then set us up for Brexit. The Brexit campaign was based on 100% lies, financed with black money and many voters for it were tricked into getting off their arses to vote for the first time in their lives, thanks to the barrage of lies from the right wing press etc.

    It was a non-binding referendum, wasn't it? And given a (fairly standard) margin of error (+/- 3%), surely the result wasn't large enough for either camp to claim victory. Ergo status quo should have been the order of the day, at least until a clearer result was obtained - the same could be said for the Scottish independence referendum.
