Nigel Farage ‘not ruling out’ spectacular return to politics

Nigel Farage has hinted at a attainable return to frontline politics after saying he’s “furious” about how the federal government has dealt with the immigration challenge following the UK’s determination to go away the European Union.

Speaking to GB News, Mr Farage claimed that almost all of those that voted for Brexit did so as a result of they have been disillusioned with the federal government’s capability to guard Britain’s borders and cease inhabitants progress. Something, he says, the federal government has didn’t ship on.

“I’m furious,” he advised GB News’ Dan Wooton. “The reason we won the referendum was because turnout was 10% higher than all the experts thought. Why? Because people voted, they thought it mattered, and they wanted to get back control of our borders.”

He went on: “They realised that the population explosion meant that they couldn’t get a GP appointment, their kids couldn’t get houses, the roads were busier than ever, and that our quality of life was being diminished by our addiction to cheap labour.

“That was the essential promise to voters within the referendum, and when Boris acquired the 80-seat majority.

“It has been completely and utterly betrayed.”

Mr Farage mentioned that whereas he needs to affect authorities coverage, he would wish to contemplate whether or not or not a political return could be efficient in reaching his objectives.

He mentioned: “I’ve got to work out if I do this, what is the effect…would I help Labour to get an even bigger majority in this election? Which could make them even worse than the Conservatives and they are pretty bad in this regard.

“Or would I end up, like 2015, with 4 million votes and one seat.. by no means earlier than in British electoral historical past has anybody ever acquired so many votes for thus little return.

“Our system needs to be changed, it needs to come into the 21st century…we must have a degree of genuine representation for how we vote.”

Mr Farage went on to say he wants to consider whether or not, by recommitting to politics, he might “really bring about the kind of fundamental change I believe in”.

“I don’t yet know the answer to that,” he mentioned.

“But I’m not ruling it out.”
