I'm thinking Nigel is maneuvering to get an invitation to join the Conservative Party and then play some major role in negotiating the exit from the EU.

He is actually the highest profile leader with the backbone for it.

Michael Gove is a mouse and Theresa May wasn't even for Brexit and has already begun to complain that she doesn't think the UK should slow immigration.

I hope it means that he is preparing for such an enlarged role in UK politics and not that he is moving into the background. He seems to be the most significant leader in the country who is not a total twit like Cameron or Corbyn. May he have a bright future!

The elites control most of the elected officials, most of the media and virtually all of the judiciary.

The wheels to elect Teresa May as Tory Leader, depose Jeremy Corbyn as Labor leader and a court challenge demanding that Parliament must vote for Brexit before it can really happen all tell us the noose is tightening around any notion of independence for the UK.

Exactly - Farage is probably gambling on the possibility of having more influence as a Tory/Conservative than as a leader of UKIP, which for better or for worse is regarded as a fringe party by many in the UK.

The Conservative leadership race is a farce.

Every single one is an advocate for "social justice."

Seems like a preview of what to expect from the GOP in a few election cycles.
