I'm a Green voter but l will be voting Brexit , for democracy.
Who's deal did you vote for?
UKIP is the only leave party
As a green voter how do you feel about the green party being hoodwinked/hijacked to demonise CO2 the very thing that greens the planet?
You think brexit is more important than climate change? The future of the planet versus administrative arrangements?
@@xxwookey I imagine if this was a case of the future of Kashyyk, I agree, but the senate is in real crisis. Vote with Wisdom dear friend.
Straight talking Clair Fox. An asset to the Brexit Party.
@@99percentproof I smell angry gammon!
@Atae1234 Exactly. "Party" of nazis, nonces and numpties. You will get what you vote for!
no the nazis party
Thank you Claire.
I now support the Brexit Party. 🙏👏👏👏👏👏
Way to go 🙂
Hmm, so you support a party that has someone who considers child porn as acceptable? Nice to know.
@@Mike-jv9cl ever heard of Greville Ewan Janner

No...
Fantastic! Like the BNP the ENDL and UKIP you will be where you belong - in the wilderness with MI6 keeping a very close eye on you. Bye bye. Make sure you close the door on your way out - that's a good girl/bot/fake/non-humanoid.
Left winger here who voted remain but democracy must be protected. Brexit Party it is.
Please dont go to the dark side my friend ! .The referendum officially was only an advisory vote but with so much media interference that somehow got lost. In 2016 we all knew very little about what leaving really meant, during the recent indicative voting process the numbers changed every time, proving that with new information people generally change their views. I think its a bit of a poke in the eye of democracy to deny another vote given that the goal posts have now moved so much. Farage is a far right populist with a far worse agenda than just Brexit.
Richard Franklin but both parties outlined and promised Brexit in their 2017 manifestos so you cant possibly be right Didnt you read their manifestos?
Richard Franklin A poke in the eye for democracy is ignoring a referendum.A kick in the balls for democracy is to have another referendum and remove the option that won and include the option that lost.You just don't get it do you the elite are not going to Brexit they never were, if a second referendum was held and leave won,they still would not do it.There is too much money and power at stake to let the minions get in the way.
@@Jack-fs2imThank you for your rational response and I do understand your point, so much was promised on both sides that has not come to pass or be based in facts at all.
My concern is that so much of the voting public was swayed by racist rhetoric and now proven lies about the economic benefits of leaving, we can't in all conscience stand by a vote that bolsters either racism or lies. If leaving is a good idea then it should stand up to the litmus test of a public confirmation.
Richard Franklin oh no not the racism card,how desperate of you,it could be said remainers just want white europeans,but leavers want ti reconnect with our commonwealth so yr blown on that one,ha
Brexit party is gonna wipe the floor with conservatives and labour,about time for change.
Labour/Remain free for £12b ?
How many seats will they get? Want to bet?
Labour/Remain you said EU elections were free but they cost us £12b.get it yet?
@@Jack-fs2im Well worth it for at least £200b in business we get out of it.
Jorge Borges foreign mercenaries spreading misinformation
Conservative all my voting life,not any more, Brexit party now
Same with me and my partner, now brexit party.
Traditional Labour voter here. Not now. Voting Brexit Party from now on
Why would you have ever voted tory
Me too.
A vote for the brexit party is a vote for democracy
This is the Politician that we desperately need. Thanks Claire, you are our star
The people that need mental help are the remainers who just cant accept the vote. Brexit is gonna happen. At least Brexit Party have a diverse voice. Stop your remoaning.

Yes, we might leave, but prepare to see at least half the country unemployed.
@@Mike-jv9cl or prepared to see a HUGE economic growth post leaving EU. You dont know. But, for what I can tell, you seem to have little faith in the future of the country and its prospects. Undermining a democratic vote is dangerous.
@@alexanderaustin3898 "This is the Politician that we desperately need." Like a hole in the head you mean?
Go Claire! at least someone is standing up for us leavers
for me its not about brexit anymore its about how democracy
Very true.
@Labour/Remain dont worry in another 40 years you can have your say again. 😂😂
@Labour/Remain In 1975 it was about joining a trading block, not political union
It's always been about democracy for me, that's the most important issue above all else. Without democracy, you have nothing.
Labour/Remain what about Labour promising Brexit in their 2017 manifesto
Scottish remain voter - I would vote for Farage as PM now - Brexit Party go get em
Been a Labour (Lefty) voter for most of my life... Democracy First. Brexit meant Brexit when I voted to Leave the EU.... I will never vote Labour again.
same here
What the chuff does brexit mean!? It's one of the most ridiculous nonsense statements you can make. And it was the PM who said it, but so much of the sentiment here is anti the PM.
If only you had some actual demonstrable facts that you could base the whole premise of brexit on. Then there would be grounds to actually agree on something and move forward...
I'm sure they won't miss you.
@Mark S, premises, premises :)
Sorry it was an unclear statement. I'll elucidate:
What specifically is Brexit? Point me to a document that defines the new policies, their impacts on society and the projected outcomes including cost and benefit analysis of all those outcomes that are reasonable to predict. Then explain how it is reflects and delivers on ALL the promises made by ALL the leave campaigns at the time of the referendum.
A successful answer will quantify how, economically and qualify how socially the UK populace will benefit from Brexit and how the result reflects the will of the people as defined by myriad leave campaign promises, this validating the referendum.
Now, I have been trying to answer this question myself but am stuck. You see there is are fundamental mismatches between what's been written down and voted on/for and what I hear a lot of Brexit arguments are based on.
Here are two stark examples of what I mean, and it explains some of my reservations on the subject. (I will admit that I have a very good idea about the real motivations and real goals behind Brexit - and they aren't to the benefit of the UK population as a whole. But if take the time to read Naomi Klein's book, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Economics - or at least watch the documentary that was made and is available on UA-cam, you will get another perspective about the premise of Brexit).
Anyway, this is the government policy paper describing the policy and rationale for Brexit:
www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-united-kingdoms-exit-from-and-new-partnership-with-the-european-union-white-paper/the-united-kingdoms-exit-from-and-new-partnership-with-the-european-union--2#taking-control-of-our-own-laws
Let's discuss the paragraph on "taking control of our laws", Chapter 2:
"2. Taking control of our own laws
We will take control of our own affairs, as those who voted in their millions to leave the EU demanded we must, and bring an end to the jurisdiction in the UK of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU)."
Comment: That is the premise of Brexit in this area.
"Parliamentary sovereignty
2.1 The sovereignty of Parliament is a fundamental principle of the UK constitution. Whilst Parliament has remained sovereign throughout our membership of the EU, it has not always felt like that. The extent of EU activity relevant to the UK can be demonstrated by the fact that 1,056 EU-related documents were deposited for parliamentary scrutiny in 2016. These include proposals for EU Directives, Regulations, Decisions and Recommendations, as well as Commission delegated acts, and other documents such as Commission Communications, Reports and Opinions submitted to the Council, Court of Auditors Reports and more."
So, under the premise of taking control of our laws, the first argument presented is that the UK parliament has always been sovereign and so solely in charge of its national law making. This is a statement of fact. We have always been in control and able to govern ourselves. The end of that sentence is a subjective and divisive statement based on the authors' opinions which, may be true for some, certainly cannot be said for all. The author is trying to spin a 'feeling' to try to distract from the fact. the fact is and should be made clear that SOVEREIGNTY IS NOT AN ISSUE as many on the leave campaign have claimed. It is not up for debate. To claim that it is, is incorrect and to argue to the contrary is a lie. As for this argument in the context of taking back our laws, it is a complete irrelevance. We make our national laws as a sovereign state, they are not imposed on us by anyone else which is why we are sovereign.
Now the last sentence is also an irrelevance as while it is a statement of fact, it merely highlights the fact that as part of the EU membership, the UK government gets sent a number of documents to scrutinise and review. This is their job and responsibility and it is a demonstration of the democratic nature of the EU system where all parties are included in the running of the system. The only thing I can infer from the inclusion of this statement is that the government don't want to do their job, they don't want to deal with the responsibility and administration of EU memebership for the sake of all the benefits it allows and the power and influence the UK government holds within the heart of the EU system.
The next section I will cite is on our courts and the relationship with the EU court of justice (CJEU).
"Ending the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the UK
2.3 The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) is the EU’s ultimate arbiter on matters of EU law. As a supranational court, it aims to provide both consistent interpretation and enforcement of EU law across all 28 Member States and a clear process for dispute resolution when disagreements arise. The CJEU is amongst the most powerful of supranational courts due to the principles of primacy and direct effect in EU law. We will bring an end to the jurisdiction of the CJEU in the UK. We will of course continue to honour our international commitments and follow international law."
So this is a description of the CJEU and its jurisdiction. This entity is responsible for arbitration on EU law. Not national law, which, as a sovereign state as stated unequivocally in the previous paragraph, is under our control and only our control.
The CJEU deals only with matters of EU law which we have helped define and have signed up to in order to provide governance and order between the EU nations. The CJEU doesn't therefore have jurisdiction on our sovereign laws only the collective laws that we helped write and we have signed up to and that afford us the fundamental benefits and freedoms of the EU, the same as the other 27 member states.
These are not 'our' laws in terms of us being the UK. They are 'our' laws in terms of our EU membership. And in terms of control, we have more MEPs than most other EU member states and so have more control and influence than most.
So the concept of taking control of our laws is ambiguous in this case because we have control of 'our' UK national law because we are a sovereign state, and EU law is not for us, as the UK, to take because they belong and govern the EU and to try to do so would be to try to control the EU...
As for any argument about our courts being hog tied or whatever, is a fallacy also because our courts don't have jurisdiction over matters of EU law.
Now I have asked the same question to my local MP who has not been able to answer this question in any detail. I hope you can help.

For the sake of Democracy, Brexit must happen and the Brexit party will make it happen. Democracy has to be seen to be carried out. If not we are on a very slippy slope towards a totalitarian state.
You can't tell us what to do Russian troll.
Go back to your homeland 👉
The problem is that the vote for Brexit is actually a vote to jeopardise the rights of millions of EU nationals and will end very likely with persecution of minorities and internment camps.
So it is a democratic vote in favour of an undemocratic outcome.
My dad didn't fight for 6 years against the Nazis in the 1940s to see them elected to power in 21st century Britain!
@@gavinthompson687 You make astonishing assertions, but present no evidence. Do you have any? Can you give us a brief, but well thought through analysis which could justify your dire predictions, or are you
getting a bit carried away on the strength of your political prejudices? Or are you experiencing a bout of emotional incontinence?
If there is no deal then there is a massive threat to the rights of EU nationals in the UK and British citizens in mainland EU. That is in addition to all the inconveniences around travel and trade relations. These are facts.
Disruption of trade relations would result in massive reassessment of supply chains. This will mean an economic recession the depth of which can only be guessed at. Check with the Bank of England, CBI and IOD if you don't believe me.
The question for you and all those supporting Brexit is whether your hatred of the EU is so great you would jeopardise the economy and the rights of millions of EU and UK nationals across Europe?
There are consequences. There has already been a cost of billions which will be as nothing if Brexit goes through - the final bill will run to 10s of billions with the future of the next generation damaged perhaps irreparably. For what - so you don't have to hear so many Polish accents on the bus! It's hardly proportionate!
My arguments are supported by the leaders of industry the unions and the vast majority of those that have been in authority for the last 45 years. Your argument seems to be that they are all wrong and will surrender all they have built to an I'll informed 'majority'.
It just won't happen, particularly when it is clear that opinions have changed. The best you can hope for now is another referendum where you will have to make the case again - this time based facts and economic reality rather than prejudice and 'feelings'. Look at the latest opinion polls if you don't believe me!
The best Brexit can hope for is around 40%. Its just not enough to carry the day. You have lost - face it and move on. Even under our crazy electoral system the Brexit party would not get a majority ina general election - fact.
What you should be doing is what your right wing colleagues in France and Italy are doing - campaign to change the EU from within. Goodness knows there are plenty things needing reformed. But to come out altogether Carrie's too much risk for a majority of the British electorate to swallow - this is not a revolution and there is just not the strength of feeling to turn. It into one.
I have an honours degree in Politics and over 30 years working in the private sector.
@@gavinthompson687 An honours degree in politics ! Who cares? It merely demonstrates that you worked hard at memorising the opinions, theories and cock- ups of those who pontificated upon such matters in the past. It does not qualify you to judge the wisdom or otherwise of the millions who oppose our membership of the corrupt and anti democratic EU. Your public flaunting of your pretty useless ( honours no less !) degree merely portrays you as just another remainer with a falsely assumed sense of superiority and an unwarranted entitlement to telling the lumpen proletariat that you know what's best for them, and what's more their wilful and ignorant stubbornness in clinging to their backward belief in democracy, the nation state, and it's right to self determination will lead us all to national oblivion. Last time anyone checked it was still one man one vote, degree or no degree. So put your ticket to entitlement back in your pocket and never mention it in public political discourse again. It doesn't look good, just conceited and arrogant.
WOW! TWO of my absolute heroes in one place! My beloved partner, with whom I have shared 36 years of life, was a REMAINER in the 2016 Referendum. He is also typically 'progressive left' in terms of his politics (he votes Green, for goodness' sake!). He is now adamantly PRO-LEAVING the EU. He says he has seen it for the MONSTER it is, and now appreciates that this is a battle for democracy itself, and that 'left' and 'right' labels are deliciously "INAPPROPRIATE" at this time. We need to clean out the floor of the Augean Stables which is the HOUSE OF LIARS at Westminster! I just pray that the next General Election sees so many of these dissembling LIARS lose their seats, that it amounts to nothing less than a DEMOCRATIC REVOLUTION! But, my suspicion is that the dozy British voter (NEWPORT WEST, anyone?) will prevent this from happening: or the 'ROYAL' ESTABLISHMENT (the "Permanent Government") will simply 'queer' the statistics, like I suspect has just happened in Spain.
@So Angry With regard to the 'Hamilton', what short memories people have! He and his wife were the Tory equivalent of the Blairs, there to clean up whilst they were in the HOUSE OF LIARS. Was it not them involved in the 'cash-for-citizenship' scandal involving the owner of Harrods, back in the 1990s? He's a disgrace to politics: and that's saying something in a HOUSE OF LIARS-ful of 'disgraces', male and female.
@@Mark_Dyer1 Even murderers are given another chance, his past would not stop me voting for UKIP. I think he would under such close scrutiny he would be unlikely to be as he was, but then even released murders kill again just have to keep them closely monitored I suppose.
@mark dyer. You’re all for democracy yet any outcome that differs with your preference is down to dozy British voters. How convenient.
@@derekwhyle1884 No! I - unlike 'Remainers' - have always behaved maturely, with regard to the EXISTING democratic process. For myself, I have declined to vote, since visiting the First World War battlefields each November for many years, and realising that our current politicians were unworthy of anyone's vote. I broke that habit for the 2016 Referendum, because I would be voting for an issue, and not a politician. Fat load of good it did. I voted for the 'wrong' option! I will not make that mistake again. Having re-joined the dozy British voter on the last occasion, I will decline to do so again. So the continuance of this mess will not be able to be laid at MY doorstep. Those who have children and grandchildren (I do not!) will have only themselves to blame for what is to come in the next two decades.
@mark dyer maybe you were right to abstain from voting. You appear to be temperamentally unsuited to it.
Legally we left the EU on the 29th of March, 2019. Farage asking the EU to delay article 50 is against our constitution. There is a court case with the High Court for a judicial review, it was brought by Robin Tillbrook and the government were meant to provide their response to the court by the 17th April, 2019. Now why aren't the media all over that, why are the media silent on the High Court Case? That is far more important than Nigel Farage and his noise.
@Labour/Remain The fact is that "a motion in parliament is not law". Sir Bill Cash. The reason that the High Court is giving time to the case brought by Robin Tilbrook against the government is that the case does have merit. What parliament is doing is against our constitution.
@Mark S Join UKIP and hear what's been going on. The only reason Nigel set up the Brexit Party was to make some noise, it's not a proper party and Nigel couldn't even abide by a constitution that he co-created. Nigel is a law unto himself. If he was really for Brexit he would've supported the legal case that Robin Tilbrook has taken to the High Court. As Sir Bill Cash said, "A motion in parliament is not law".
@@eliakimjosephsophia4542 Tilbrook's a fascist dickhead, chairman of the English Democrats, an insignificant BNP splinter party with no money, no influence and hardly any members. A joke who joined the wrong party and won't admit his mistake.
@DrTheKay I'm still celebrating that Theresa May has resigned. News is that the exit polls in Ireland show an improvement for the Greens and I did anticipate that after the Greens success in the local elections.
Well done Claire. Remainers who have been able to come to terms with the result and accept democracy are some of the most reasonable people among us.
The contempt shown for democracy has been extremely worrying. No good thing would come from ignoring democracy.
Is she still an apologist for the IRA?
Brexit Party are looking good
Ukip are looking Great

So far, I've been impressed by the calibre and diversity of the Brexit Party's candidates, this bodes well. I think the priority now is to channel the anger towards the ballot box and persuade those who may feel their vote doesn't matter to get out and repeat 23rd June 2016.

Mollie Reed Thank you. My sentiments exactly.
I’ve never voted before, Brexit party for me
Time to get rid of the rot
So what is it you want, Claire? Leaving with no deal?
Of course she wants that, just as the 17.4 million who voted to leave want it. Deals can be made after we leave, as far as environmental issues are concerned, it goes without saying Britain is head and shoulders above the rest of the world in our efforts to reduce carbon emissions and other environmental problems. Trade deals can be made once we have left, the rest of Europe isn't going to cut off it's nose to spite it's face, they want to trade with us. Better deals can be made outside the block when we hold the trump cards.
brexit party is going to split the vote between ukip and brexit farage is helping the conservatives
I agree with you 100 Percent mate. The snake oil salesman Nigel Is splitting up the vote and dividing Brexiteers. He says UKIP Is an Islamophobic party and are Racists. That Is a Lie, you are not a racist when you want to put the brakes on MASS THIRD WORLD IMMIGRATION the likes of which this country has never seen In its Thousands of years history. If we do not put the brakes on, White people will become minorities in there own country in a few short Decades! how sad. And you're not a Racist for having concerns about this very real threat. The Brexit party Is nothing more than a vote divider which helps the Establishment. The Brexit Party IS the Party Of Division. Its Pretty disgusting how the MSM love to promote It That alone should be evidence enough that nothing good that can come of It.
BTW she supported the IRA (when she was a member of the RCP for 20 years) and defended Gary Glitter, and the interviews she given are out there for people to see and hear for themselves.
JUST WHEN YOU THINK IT CANNOT GET ANY WORSE THIS HAPPENS ,
Farage!!!
Batten!!! Batten seems a lot more honest than Farage. He makes Farage look like a dodgy used car salesman
I have voted conservative all my life together with 20 or so family but never again we will be voting for the brexit party in future! N .Watt
well done claire fox, i hope everyone who wants to leave the eu turns out on mass to show these corrupt mps what we want at the euro elections!
Until recently I did not know Claire Fox was a 'lefty'-which I certainly am not, but I have watched her many times on tv when discussing the next day's newspaper headlines and have always found she offers sensible and reasonable views, and I admire and respect her - even more so for having the guts to nail her Brexit colours to the leave campaign. She is the voice of reason.
@Atae1234 Sounds like she has a murky past-much like Jeremy Corby-and he is lauded by millions. But you are right, I just took her at face value.
@Atae1234 Yes, and all who support the Labour party are aligning themselves with Jeremy Corbyn - and look at HIS record!
@Atae1234 Agreed - The politicians of today just don't have the backbone that previous generations of them had.
"Democracy matters" so she joined a party that has no voting system on policy, should have joined UKIP that are an actual democratic party and not just a vehicle for one person's ego while splitting the vote.
The trouble is people are being told ukip is right wing. That is absolutely not true
I think in an hours time you'll find that BP have not split the vote, I think you'll find they have virtually ALL of the leave vote, pl pl pl reply in an hour if I am wrong. UKIP pers should now join BP.
When the mainstream is for the Brexit party you know that UKIP must be the way
Exactly! I wouldnt be surprised if the establishment are paying Farage to split the vote.
I concur! We must all vote for Gerard Batten UKIP. FARAGE sneers down at ordinary folk.
Farage is already a millionaire , they will either have promised him a big pay day or are paying him as he goes , either way many think its a con , he is in the news to much and drinks with the tories !
@@pearlyking5931 UKIP are finished. They've shat in their own bed and are now desperately trying to appeal to the racists. Members are leaving in droves, their poll ratings are tanking. It's all over, we won't miss them.
Exactly - thank you both, true Democrats.
He likes his chips doesn't he.
I hadn’t realised until a few weeks back that Claire was left wing particularly, I just knew she was on the right side of the argument on Brexit.
It isn’t a left/right thing, it’s just a decision to rejoin the rest of the world doing very nicely thank you outside of the Eu.
We would be fine if Bernie was president of the US. At least he is a humanitarian who cares about Joe and Jane, and will make us equal partners (like we are with the EU). People like Trump are only in it for the elites, prepared to make the UK his vassal state.
Exactly.
Yes we need a strong leader don't we.....someone to worship, God like, someone to follow.....aahhh mein fuhrer , I knew you would rise from the ashes and save us.....
California Dreamin like Corbyn do you mean or Merkel and her Reich
Jack Hello Jack. Auf Weidersein .
California Dreamin knew you spoke yr mother tongue and pretended to be an american fake
Jack Jack why are you being such a plonker.....you're clearly suffering from Faragism.
California Dreamin Farage truth,yr dreamin of the USA and california.hahaha
This seems imprudent for BP. How will they have a manifesto that pleases Fox and Widdecombe....you simply can't. The party will have to break up down the line.
Current party divisions do not reflect political opinion in the country. Labour Party voters are at least as socially conservative as Tories, who are increasingly liberal on social, moral and economic issues.
@@borderlands6606 Yes, I myself advocate for something leaning towards a third position party, but I suspect hell will freeze over before that happens.
@So Angry Blair and his chums were former revolutionary Marxists. Even Blair couldn't achieve what Corbyn has done, which is to turn Labour into a party run by the middle class for middle class voters. That's quite an achievement.
The Tories are neo-liberals for the most part.
They have no intention of a manifesto, Leave the EU is the only policy, they are not a real party, just a media circus pressure group for leave, if you want a manifesto and a real party for change then UKIP is the only option.
@@sonofsomerset1695 I'll be voting UKIP, don't worry about that.
Vote Change UK and you get Remain UK.
Aled how is change the same as what it was DOH
@@Jack-fs2im Of course, I was being ironic/sarcastic.
A new found respect for Claire Fox.
What comes first SH * T or the shovel
I won't Vote for Farage only 1 party that's UKIP
Well done, UKIP are a real party with democratic voting, not a media circus to feed the ego of Nigel.
You know democracy is in its dying throws when those in positions of power and influence start demanding that voters justify why they voted the way the did. I first noticed this after the 2015 general election with former celebs leading tantrum walks which just got cranked up to 11 after the 2016 referendum result. The introduction of the secret ballot back in the 19th century meant the electorate doesn’t have to justify to anyone why they chose to vote the way the did. It was based on the concept that voters had their own opinions and should be able to exercise them as they see fit. Who do do these people think they are to call that into question because they’ve been on the losing side more than they’d like! At the moment we still live in a democracy not some totalitarian state that requires complete subservience to the views of the political class however that nightmare is probably not too far away unless we teach those in power a lesson at the ballot box and remind the just who is boss.
she should have stood as an independent , now people just think she just trying to hurt UKIP
Agreed. We must all vote UKIP
Welcome to the brexit party
We've won ALL the arguments and still May won't listen.
Time to put the kicking boots on and VOTE FOR THE BREXIT PARTY.
UKIP
Claire Mcfadyen
Ah....UKIP the party slumping in the ratings, below even the Greens.
Over 20 MEP's down to 4.
Associating with some of the worst people in politics and putting forward candidates that are beyond a joke.
Keegan - they're desperate to downplay ukip in the polls but the word on the street is that ukip are very strong.
@@keegan773 Check out the poll that Sky have been using, they reckon Tories will lose 400 local election seats because people are angry at not leaving, yet they claim UKIP will also fall, the only major gainer being Lib Dems, that's obvious rubbish, if you leave tories because they wont brexit you arent going to switch to remainer lib dems are you, it's all propaganda to put people off UKIP because they are terrified of a party that doesnt play by politically correct rules, thats why they are being nice to Nigel all of a sudden, because he has fallen in line now he has a main stream radio job to worry about.
Ann Other
😂😂😂😂😂 great joke. Thanks for that, I needed cheering up today.
These should be longer
Tears and despair...accurate summary.
I voted no to joining the Common Market back in 75. I voted for BREXIT in 2016. And I voted for the BREXIT party this morning. There is NO scenario in or out of existence that would make me vote for anything OTHER than BREXIT.
wanderer1955 Me too.
Well said all so very true.
Well done Claire, go give them hell.
Claire Thank You.
The problem in the UK is that Brexit took the place of religion and believe became the driving force instead of reason.
If the main issue RIGHT NOW is Brexit and you support it then it makes sense to vote for the Brexit party now to make a statement. The British people voted to leave the EU and the promised date to leave has come and gone. How can Britain be called a democracy now? Brexit must at least be given a chance.
Enoch Powell, Tony Benn, Nigel Farage and Clair Fox. All have one thing in common, they all believe in Parliament and it’s sovereign power for Britain 🇬🇧. If anyone does not understand that, they should question themselves.
Claire Fox supports NOT banning child porn, so vote TR for MEP in the North West. How crazy is it that she is even allowed air time, let alone allowed in the Brexit party!
First time I’ve ever agreed with a Yaxley supporter on politics 🙂
Labour and Tory May will agree a Brexit deal next week just so they do not have to this vote on the EU and see themselves destroyed we will stay in a con deal
It is an extraordinary thing that the supporting the EU has become the trendy, hip thing to do, and is now associated with being liberal and open minded. In the UK the left rail against austerity, and the heartless Tories. Anybody who really wants to understand how hard nosed the EU is should listen to Yanis Varoufakis. They might then reconsider whether the EU is all that they imagine it to be.
Got a good feeling the Brexit party are going to change politics forever.
Next week the surprise guest is.. you guessed it, Mr Arthur Scargill.
I’ve been talking with friends, family and colleagues recently about the absolute need to put party politics aside for the time being and to concentrate on rebuilding our shattered and divided country by restoring our faith in democracy and every single one of them is of the same opinion.
Time for Scotland to leave Wangland to its brexshit shambles, I think...
Jorge Borges off you go then & the best of luck convincing the EU to subsidise you to the sane amount that you are by the UK. Shame really as I think that Scotland is lovely and that all of the Scots i have met have been decent, level headed people.
@@theshootist3873 What subsidy are you refering to? Scotland pays in more tax than we get back.
Jorge Borges I respectfully beg to differ & there is a huge amount of data to prove it but this Guardian article from last August sums up my point.
www.theguardian.com/business/2018/aug/22/scotland-cuts-its-deficit-but-is-still-outspending-the-uk
As it happens i am 100% behind nationalism but I am steadfastly opposed to almost everything that the EU stands for & I cannot help feeling that Scotland would be making it’s biggest mistake for centuries by joining the E.U.
Jorge Borges and a little more light reading for you: www.quora.com/Regarding-Scotland-s-economy-is-the-UK-subsidising-Scotland-or-is-Scotland-subsidising-the-UK
Excellent.
What a pleasant intelligent lady.
Clair you are a breath of fresh air, the Labour Party used to hate the EU
Me again people I've heard if you use a permanent marker at the ballot box your vote will be void sorry my bad
Where the hell did the brexit party come from ? Where is it financed from ? Any other parties struggle for years to get anywhere. If other parties could appear in a couple of weeks that would be great, but it doesn't happen.
FROM THE PUBLIC! They took in over 1.5 Million from small donations in just a couple of weeks, unlike the 'LibLabCon' they are not funded by 'big business' they are being funded by the people.
@@stevenhowe6677 .
Ditto !
The power of the people.
Never betray your country.
@@stevenhowe6677 What happened to UKIP ?
@@cobbler40 Now that's a sad tale but you really need to do your homework rather than trying to educate yourself on youtube of all places.
What day is it? Who am I? What Planet am I on? hahaha
@@stevenhowe6677 I think you are right I need to read up on who Farage is and what he has said previously when he was the leader of UKIP. Not what he says now of course which is different.
The Brexit Party is so needed now as we are in crisis to regain Democracy.
The Brexit party are the opposite of democracy. No members, no policies and ruled by foreign donors.
@@jorgeborges7707 rubbish, 90,000 citizens have contributed £25 each to join the Party and hundreds of thousands are registered supporters, donors are legitimate. Policy overall is simple, Independence for all our needs, eg. Fisheries, Trade, Immigration to be regulated, Laws to be upheld by us, etc. etc. Overall Democracy to be regained by the People.
When you go to vote for the brexit party of course take your own pen not a pencil and make sure it's a permanent marker pen
Clare Fox...... if I lived in the UK. This lady I would listen to her ....... always. And I live in Austria soon to leave the EU...... (Maybe)
I have been aware of her for a while now, through her Institute of Ideas they had the best brexit debate in run up to referendum in 2016. Disagree with her on numerous things, but she is a rarity in that there is nearly never any histrionics unlike many on both sides, a cool customer.
Oh god, that (communist) explains why I found her so tedious on TV during the EU parliament election... and no-one (as Rod will confirm) is more Brexiteer than I.
@ 3:35 The irony of the Change UK party, when the reason for its existence is that politics has changed and they don’t like it
