What Next? A DUP/UKIP Merger?
An interesting article in a part of the media I’ve not heard of before, called the ‘Observer,’ though it doesn’t seem to be that more well-known and horrendously ultra-liberal thing ‘The Observer!’
I won’t go through all the writer of the article, Andre Walker, says, since you can read it for yourselves quite easily here –

A Deal to Save Brexit: Nigel Farage Should Take UKIP Into DUP Merger
oooooooooooooooooo
=
Many years ago, I mooted a UK-wide Unionist Party, though in those days the base I foresaw for this development was what’s now the almost defunct Ulster Unionist Party.
Mr. Walker realistically recognises how the times have a-changed, the UUP replaced as Ulster Brits’ spokes-party by the Democratic Unionists.
========
=======
He proposes that UKIP and DUP coalesce into one nationwide party!
His proposed name, the United Kingdom Party, is good enough to be going on with.
But the main thrust of his argument – that there is more to political life than Brexit – cannot be gainsaid.
It’s a reasonable conclusion from recent events that while most Brits are glad to be on the way to self-government again, that very fact led voters to skip UKIP as a necessary choice – why vote for something we have already, by democratic referendum, achieved?
That ‘achievement’ is of course in jeopardy, because the big parties simply cannot be trusted. But many, if not most people, still plainly find it hard to grasp that the British political elite would stoop to thus damning democracy.

Wishful thinking is a dodgy basis for putting a cross on one’s ballot paper.
What’s needed is a powerful political bloc, with a secure popular base, albeit a limited, to start with, geographical base.
What is also needed is a firm embrace of traditional British values, those rejected by the LabLibCon clique…

…and a firm commitment to let Brits make direct decisions on the restoration of a way of life on the destruction of which they were never consulted.
Swiss-style democracy, popular vote, not handed down by a condescending elite, but ON DEMAND, if a given percentage of voters require it.

Thus the repeated refusal by arrogant parliaments to hold referenda on capital punishment, Cameron’s contemptuous dismissal of calls for popular consultation on so-called ‘gay’ so-called ‘rights,’ and the indifference of the in-crowd to public indignation over failure to deport unwanted aliens…

…ALL of these issues would be subject to the highest court!
Not the stuck-up sticky-beaks in Strasbourg…

No objections from me.
DUP would get a big boost if they had a mainland branch.
The trouble is that UKIP might just see DUP as their Ulster branch.
There needs to be a canny approach to this idea.

Unity is strength. The bigger the party the better. Its just common good sense to get together with everyone who agree on the big issues.
The problem might be some many egos in Ukip.
Nigel could do it.

I think it would be a tremendous idea.
Not so sure about the name though, why not call it a more inspiring name, like the British Peoples Party?

All for it, mate.
What I do NOT understand is why those Scotch On The Rocks and Welsh Nats can be so leftwing and keen on illegal immigrants and multiculti rubbish. You would expect nationalists of any kind to work together.

If they can work it out, yes, Ross, it could make a big difference.
I read that all the Ulster-haters in Westminster are saying May must not make a deal with unionists because she has to be an honest broker between us and the IRA.
Makes you sick, that Perfidious Albion mentality. A lot of people here in Ulster just cannot understand why the English love to kick their friends in the teeth.
