with it looking like Brexit party getting a majority 

Since when?

 

The latest polls have the Brexit Party getting between 28% and 35% of the vote, depending on which one you believe.

Its called democracy in action whether you like it or not. Voters are not accountable to the rest of the electorate as to how they vote.

 

Maybe the do, maybe they dont.

 

Getting desperate now are we! No doubt you are suffering from the wrong type of red bus flashbacks!

 

Yep its called democracy.

 

But he does not say he wants to replace the NHS though does he, or say that it should be funded by private insurance? Read what you like into it but the fact is that was not stated in the clip.

 

Yes he does. In the BBC link you were so happy about it’s exactly what is said: replace the NHS

 

There is nothing to read into it if you actually bother to read it, which you evidently failed to do

So if Brexit Party people win seats will they refuse to take up their seats in the European Parliament and refuse their pay and massive exspenses?

 

Doing otherwise would obviously be the height of hypocrisy.

 

Asking for a friend.

He did condemn white nationalists after the Charlottesville attack,

He absolutely did not. He famously refused to do so.

That’s a majority in Brexitspeak.

To be fair, both UKIP and the Brexit Party have said that they intend to take their seats and disrupt the working of the European Parliament.

 

However, the Parliament does have the power to sanction those MPs who actively attempt to damage the organisation including witholding salaries and pension rights, so it might end up as as a choice between their principles and the money.

 

It's not that difficult to see which they will choose!

I hope they win because then they have to explain how Brexit should happen, in detail.

 

It is going to be hilarious

Trump's awful for getting his (often ridiculous) point across, but he did condemn white nationalists after Charlottesville.

"And you had people -- and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally."

I'm sort of coming around to that viewpoint now.

 

I would like to see any of these people complaining and saying they could have done a much better job than May actual try and do it, and see how easy it is..

Why would they have to do that? They're going to be MEPs, not MPs. So no such obligation what-so-ever.

 

I too hope they win en masse. How smart you're all going to look like, as an electorate

I fear that the French, German and Italian electorates are about to upstage the UK electorate in the stupid stakes.
