Boris Johnson: the new PM to energise the country?

No, you said;

Don’t accuse me of mis-quoting you when you’re the one changing what you said   I’m not spinning anything, I just asked which GE they received 20% of the votes in, then supported my question by using your own explanation of TBP being a protest vote for people who would rather vote Conservative and, most likely, will do now that Johnson is promising the earth.

Top quality trolling.

I've clarified what I meant twice now and you continue to misrepresent it.

That you misread it is your problem. Stop misrepresenting what I said.

Are you seriously claiming I believe that the brexit party stood two years ago and got 20% of the vote? How utterly pathetic.

I’m not trolling you by quoting your own posts, and explaining why I feel they’re wrong.

You are trolling by repeating the misquote despite it being explained three times now. You misread it, plain and simple. I already put an emphasis on this, but let me do it again.

"A party with around 20% of votes in a general election is not irrelevant"

Not THE general election, A general election.

Am I going to have to explain this for a fifth time before you stop misrepresenting me?

And the EU is £10 billion every year, foreign aid is £15 billion every year, plus a £39 billion divorce bill. If only a party would pledge to actually spend money here.

Brexit Party urges student finance shake-up

'Serious pledge'
By leaving the EU without a deal, axing HS2 and halving the overseas aid budget, Mr Farage claimed the party would free up to £200bn to spend on economic development outside London.

You can use as many angry emojis as you like but I'm not mis-quoting you, it was your post.  You're explanation of your post is to simply embolden/underline 'a' which means nothing.  The Brexit Party have not taken part in any General Elections so, I assume, you're basing your psychic prediction on a voting intention survey, which isn't representative of an actual General Election.  

You yourself, are a prime example of a Tory voter who has stated numerous times on here that your vote for TBP in the European election was a protest, in the hope that it makes the Tories become more Tory and deliver what you want, so you can vote for them.  UKIP did exactly the same to force the Referendum, yet they've crashed and burned since then, as this who voted for them went back to Conservative once they got the referendum they wanted.  TBP is exactly the same.

Yes, in a subsequent post I confirmed this was based on polling of Westminster voting intentions. This was several posts ago, but yet you persist in pushing your elementary school interpretation of what I said despite my repeated clarifications.

And despite your interpretation relying on me believing that the brexit party existed two years ago and stood in that election.

You must know how ridiculous this makes you look, right? But here we are still going on about it.

Do you get it yet?

The brexit party are polling around 20% for A (note future, not past) general election. So back to my post, Boris should do a deal to secure those votes and hold a general election where he will split the remain vote and win a working majority.

TBP are currently polling at about 20%. If the Tories can get them, they can win a majority and then all the issues with the current small majority go away.

If Boris took over in 2016 we wouldn't be where we are today. I don't believe he can achieve anything without a majority in parliament, and while he has Tories like Grieve actively working to undermine them.

Let's have an election.

Again, you can call me names and question my intelligence if it makes you feel better but the fact remains, they have not received 20% of votes in any GE, so you’re going off a survey.  Even though you yourself are an indicative Tory voter who used them as a protest, and have even said that you don’t like Farage and wouldn’t want him in power.  You’re so desperate to get Brexit through that you’re ignoring that and calling on the new PM, who hasn’t even got into Number 10 yet, to make a deal with TBP and call a general election.

Unbelievable.

I never said they won 20% of votes in a general election. I've clarified this six or seven times now. I've confirmed a number of times I'm going from polling.

You misread my post. It's that simple. You inferred a meaning I never intended, which is fair enough - can happen.

But you've continued on as if that's what I meant.

It isn't.

So stop. It's well into deliberate trolling now, which I'll be public and say I've reported.

To be honest we don't even need to be talking about the TBP right now. Especially in here. They're currently a complete non-entity, who Johnson himself has ruled out working with. As it currently stands anyway.
