The enemy of the Bulgarians on Nigel Farage Island returns to politics
Britain experienced a historic vote on Thursday. After a 14-year rule that led to the country’s exit from the EU, the Conservative Party is losing power. Unsatisfied with the economic crisis, high immigration and the series of scandals in which its representatives have been involved over the years, citizens decided to punish the Tories at the polls.
The big question on election day was not whether the Conservatives were losing, but by how much. Their leader and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak directly appealed to the citizens not to give unchecked power to the opposition Labor Party until now, because it
will increase the taxes
and will ruin the country for 100 days. He warned that in some constituencies the battle was so close that it could be as few as 130,000 voters decided what the next parliament would be.
In principle, about 46 million people have the right to vote for the 650 MPs in the House of Commons of the British Parliament, but since the vote is by majority, it happens that some people’s representatives are elected with only a few votes ahead of the others. So parties also resorted to tactical seat voting, backing foreign candidates just to prevent Labor from winning more than half the parliamentary seats.
Polls taken on election day itself showed that support for them had slightly decreased and they were likely to get 37%. The Conservatives are in second place with 19 percent of the votes, and the far-right party “To Reform the United Kingdom” will be third with 15 percent. Earlier polls even suggested she would dislodge the Tories from second place, but some scandals in the ranks of the Nigel Farage-led reformers during the campaign appear to have unsettled some of his supporters.
He had to withdraw his party’s support for three of its candidates because of racist comments.
Farage himself has applied seven times to become a member of the British Parliament, but
never before was not elected
He was an MEP while Britain was in the EU, but he thinks Brexit is one of the best things that ever happened to the country. He had a big hand in the 2016 referendum to leave the EU, as he long fueled fears that Bulgarians and Romanians would come to the Island and take British welfare benefits. In 2013, they even invited him to the Roma neighborhood in Sofia to make sure that there was no such danger. And while Farage was proven right and Bulgarians were convicted in May of one of the biggest welfare thefts in the history of British welfare for £54m, this issue was not exploited by him during the election campaign now. It focuses on the thousands of illegal immigrants who enter Britain each year in inflatable boats across the English Channel. He also focused on the war in Ukraine, saying that the West had caused Russia to invade it.
