Nigel Farage has led the Brexit Party to victory while the establishment parties are left assessing the damage after their historic losses, with the Brexiteer declaring: “This is just the beginning.”
With almost all regions counted, the Brexit Party is in the clear lead after winning around one-third of the vote and projected to have gained 29 seats. In a distant second, the pro-Remain Liberal Democrats won 15 seats, while the new Change UK (CUK), established solely to stop Brexit, failed to gain a single seat.
“Never before in British politics has a party just 6 weeks old won a national election,” Mr Farage posted to Twitter Monday morning. “If Britain does not leave the EU on October 31st, these results will be repeated at a general election.
“History has been made. This is just the beginning.”
Media reports that the Tories suffered their worst election result in two centuries, dropping to just nine per cent of the vote and winning only four seats — losing 15 — while the Labour Party is said to have had its worst election result in 100 years, halving its presence in the European Parliament from 20 to just ten seats.
Speaking to Good Morning Britain on Monday morning, Mr Farage warned that the establishment political parties will suffer in the next General Election, scheduled for 2021, if they fail to take the UK out of the EU by October 31st, saying: “That date will become a bigger factor in peoples’ minds as these five months go by. If we don’t leave on the 31st of October, then the Brexit Party will go on to a General Election and stun everybody there, too.”

CUK LOL!
So, what does the future look like for Tommy Robinson?
October 31st??! Holy smokes when was Brexit voted on and passed?
President Trump has shown them the way.
Nationalism (love of country, language, traditions and culture) should not be a crime.
Multi-nationalism leads to a failed nation.
Before Trump, Nigel Farange was my favorite politician. He is very much like Trump insomuch as he can send millions of leftists into foamy mouth epilectic seizures with just a few words in twitterland
I know... CUK..... Bwaaahaaaahaaaaahaaahaaahaahaaahaaaa....
So, is Farage the new Prime Minister or what?
Some day—2021— Nigel Farage will live at Number 10. In the end he will be classed with Churchill and Maggie Thatcher.
Not this time, but if the Tories don’t deliver brexit, all bets are off. The conservatives have to deliver Brexit or they will be destroyed.
>>>So, is Farage the new Prime Minister or what?
Difficult to become the Prime Minister if you are not even a Minister of Parliament. If he wants in on the talks maybe he should run for a seat in the UK instead of the EU.
It is impossible to become Prime Minister if you are not a leading member of the largest party in Parliament.
He has positioned his new party well—and if there is no Brexit before the next election, I would not advise giving too heavy odds against him.
Brexit was voted on three times this year, 2019, and hasn’t yet passed.
The UK s a multinational country, consisting of four nations: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
This was elections to the eu parliament, not the UK general election which will happen in 2022.
Farage has stood for UK elections before and lost every time. It was only with eu proportional representation system that he managed to get his only political psot, as a member of the eu parliament.
Maybe. Or messing with Brexit could cause such a brouhaha as to have the Queen dissolve Parliament and new bunch voted in long before 2022.
The UK has had over a thousand years to smooth over the rough edges (and even still not all is sweetness and light in the United Kingdom).
