This blog will celebrate in the most Stroockian way possible.
In the meantime, Herr Farage celebrated in the only way he knew how. Behold:
I can’t see how the Brexit Party will win a single seat. https://t.co/kR0YQQK4uZ— Guido Fawkes (@GuidoFawkes) November 3, 2019
Nigel Farage’s newly-formed Brexit Party have sensationally topped the opinion polls in national elections for the first time, with Nigel Farage hailing it as a “historic moment”.Checking our math this poll shows the Brexit and the Tory parties getting 43 percent of the vote. In the Limey's first past the post system, the Brexit Party would pickup up 305 or so seats in parliament.
The poll by Opinium showed that, in the event of a general election, the Brexit Party would be the largest party in Parliament with 26 per cent of the vote.
The Labour Party came second on 22 per cent and the governing Conservative Party in third place on 17 per cent, followed by the Liberal Democrats on 16 per cent. The Green Party received 11 per cent — a significant rise for them from just four per cent in the last Opinium poll.
Interviewer Andrew Marr began by making the huge mistake of treating Farage like the BBC treats all politicians to the right of Lenin: with unutterable contempt, as if he were a dangerous idiot with wacky views which no civilised person could possibly hold. Marr began (from a long list of “gotcha” questions designed to make Farage look like an extremist) with climate change.We urge reader(s) to watch the clips at the link.

Martin Schulz, the left-wing Social Democratic Party (SPD) candidate in Germany’s September federal elections, told the Funke media group he would defend liberal values and fight moves to lift sanctions on Russia.
“What Trump is doing is un-American,” Mr. Schulz said. “The United States is like no other country for enlightenment, democratic and free values.”
“If Trump is now driving a wrecking ball through this set of values, then I will tell him as chancellor: That’s not the policy of Germany and Europe,” he added.
