Nigel Farage says his Brexit Party will contest every seat in UK’s upcoming polls as he launches election campaign
Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage launches his party's manifesto ahead of the upcoming General Election, in London, Friday, Nov. 1, 2019.
Farage has a record of exerting pressure on Conservative leaders with the threat of poaching their traditional voters. Instead he proposed that if the Conservatives did not contest about 150 seats where he thought the Brexit Party had a better chance of winning, he would stand aside in the remaining 500. He gave Johnson until Nov. 14 to consider the offer.
The idea of a pact was endorsed by US President Donald Trump — a friend of Farage — who called up Farage's radio show on Thursday and said, "If you and he get together it's, you know, unstoppable force." The Conservative's rejection meant that Farage on Friday effectively declared war on both major parties, vowing to fight for 'leave' voters across Labour and Conservative seats across the English Midlands and the north as well as in Wales.
Cast by his supporters as the godfather of Brexit, he proposes what he calls a "clean break Brexit," which means the type of no-deal exit that many international businesses and banks say is their nightmare scenario.
