A couple of points?
The 2 main parties differ in how they select their leaders, Labour leaders are selected by a vote of all theirs member nationwide and the Tory leaders are selected by the 1922 committee which are a group of influential backbenchers.
These leaders are selected before an election, not after. Until that toerag Roland Rat became leader before Starmer.
Thanks, Julia.
I was lazy. I know that the leader is chosen before the election. On the other hand, the leader can also be changed AFTER an election (between elections), right?
I did not know about the two different methods of selection, but I'm not surprised.
General question: how do you personally see the role, impact or effect of Farage and the whole brexit thing, on the direction of the UK? And is Farage (and his party) relevant currently?
I can't really answer that as Farage is an unknown force to me, one one hand he is an establishment figure bought up in the midst of the leaders of Britain but on the other he is attacked viciously by them. I don't know if he is a patriot,a trojan horse or a gatekeeper. Sorry I could not be more precise.
That's fine. I was asking for your thoughts and your view, not for facts.
Thank you!
