The European Elections - Brexit is as strong as ever

[clearspira]

It is still ongoing, but currently, Nigel Farage's Brexit party has absolutely romped home, destroying UKIP and the main two parties. If anyone thought Brexit dead, they were wrong.

Mildly curious, but can't remember if Sargon was part of Brexit or UKIP?

EDIT- UKIP it seems. He didn't get elected. No Sargon MEP shenanigans for us.

[Madner Kami]

He was in UKIP or is in UKIP. BrExit-party is Farage's new vehicle after he left UKIP. And no, Sargon did not get elected, gladly. But he had no chance to begin with anyways. Nobody wants to be associated with UKIP, because, somewhat ironically, Farage is right in his assessment, that it hardly is more than a far right wing anti-muslim party at this point. And Mr Benjamin shot himself in the foot in various other ways on top of it.

I was only wondering about Sargon because of the big thread that was made about him and his running a few weeks ago.

And yes, I know the differences between UKIP and the Brexit Party- I just wasn't sure which one he was running for.

Europe is boring. Let's talk about American politics for a change.

The post felt too short, if I had left it at the first sentence. Don't mind my babbling, I had a long day and a short night and the brain is a bit mushy atm.

Fuck America. Let's appreciate the beauty of every nation fucking up, for just one moment. I'm sure Fuzzy will draw us back in the regular cesspit, as soon as he wakes up.

Well it'd be nice if you and the rest of the EU could bring some nationalism to the global table.

[Madner Kami]

Trust me, you don't want Germany to bring Nationalism to the global table again. We did that twice, didn't work out nicely for anyone involved, except for the US somehow.

Here is a very factual account of Sargon's run.

The UKIP leader looks like a younger Mitch McConnell, at least in that pic.

And in fairness to Sargon, I'm sure that nothing he said had any affect on the fact that he lost, because I'm sure most voters didn't know who he was- the real reason he lost is because he was a member of UKIP, and UKIP lost across the board.

So the biggest mistake in his political career was backing the wrong horse, insofar as this was a political career rather than anything more than a publicity stunt.
