New Brexit party launched

Do you really think all those 17 million who voted consider Farage as their “voice”? I know a few people who voted to leave and that couldn’t be further from the truth.

So a question to the Brexit supporters on here. Does Farage speak for you?

IronGiant

Nope...

They voted to leave. We haven't left and the main parties haven't delivered anything.

We only ended up here largely due to his party having an influence in the first place which then lead to the referendum promise.

UKIP lost support after the referendum vote and the main parties seem to be backpeddling on actually leaving.

Even if you don't support him, if he gets support it will be at the expense of the other parties which will then influence them.
I have no support for any party as I don't think any support me. I'm on the mailing list for Labour Leave, Conservatives, Brexit Party, still on from UKIP, and anyone else who'd get us out.

George Galloway supports leave. It certainly doesn't make me a supporter of him but "war and politics make strange bedfellows."

Ditto.

@Sonic67 bit of a long winded answer, and you kind of drifted off the point.  So - I think - you’re saying that he does speak for you but you don’t necessarily support him? Just using your “voice for 17 mil” point earlier.

But we’ve had a couple say that he doesn’t. And I know of a few more. Small sample, but there you go. All I’m saying is that you’ve made a bit of a leap to say that he speaks for every single Brexit voter.

You’re very quick to jump on anyone who suggests understanding the thoughts of all Brexit supporters (even when the word “some” is used). It’s fair to expect the same from you, yes?

Absofudgeinglutely not! Neither do Rees Smugg, Mark Pissoir et al

17 million voted to leave. Fair to say we still haven't. Maybe he might change things. Again.

Name me someone else who has done as much as him toward leaving.

David Cameron.

I'm not sure Farage has done anything towards getting us to Leave, given he was trying to undermine the vote with a demand for a second one before he realised Leave had won.

Promised a referendum after 4 million voted for UKIP and we were heading for a Labour/SNP party.
