Poor performance in European elections could finish off Change UK

On Friday evening in the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, the latest troupe which seeks to break the mould of British politics took to the stage.

But at heart; isn't that the issue here? This is a party with the word"change" in its title, predicated on the idea that Britain needs fundamental reform. But they don't sound radical. They're not in big parties any more and they can no longer rely on the premium that granted them; to make it as an insurgent force, especially in a political system like Britain's, you have to be bold, you have to stand out to get attention and to draw a crowd and to excite.You have to be a street fighter, not a champion boxer. The Lib Dems with their"b******* to Brexit" slogan this week showed that they understand that precious lesson.

Their opponents realise this well; no-deal was once unimaginable, completely unmentioned in the referendum campaign.It has also made what were once hard Brexit options, a customs union alone say, appear reasonable compromise. Nigel Farage doesn't have to answer about policy because he knows - and we know - that for now at least, that's not the party's purpose.

Someone put it to me that Change may be an ugly dog but if an ugly dog gets 5% that still says something. Perhaps. But this is the only race this dog has a chance of winning. Everything else is immaterial.

Whilst Brexit supporters are cheered and excited across the land by Mr Farage, his foes are missing a champion. That the arguments barely need to be made and fought for, that no vehicle is required, no hard graft needed: that truth will out.But many American voters, especially in rustbelt states, disagreed in 2016 and many British voters, despite three years of cataclysm, don't accept the realities that many Remainers and politicians think axiomatic with truth and reason.

They will be already deciding who to jump on board with next

They are finished agrred they never started that rally of 15 and that included 10 of them said it all. Bunch of pinnochios.

When ForChange_Now tell us we didnt know what we voted for and we need to vote again. While not holding by elections themselves they have lost all credibility Hypocrites

It's finished already.

As a party they are only interested in remaining in the EU so they won’t have a chance in the elections

Doesn’t something have to start in order for it to finish? 😕

that's because they should be called the no change party because that's what they stand for no change

Good, it’s a ‘party’ of useless politicians who are desperately clinging on to the final day’s of their employment - it has zero to do with anything other than that.

What are you talking about. They are finished now.

Come on they're MPs. Skins like rhinos, no sense, morals or ethics. They will carry on until the next election for 1 reason only...£80k+expenses+pension+backhanders.

They should join Lib Dem’s. Unite against the racists and Brexiteers.

I disagree. The EU elections are about pitched as proxy 2nd ref and about deciding how UK is represented in the European Union administrative system. Change UK is about renewal of how we do politics, how we function within and the structure of the UK medieval system values.

It may open there eyes

If that does not, then we will at the next GE.

Boo Boo to those independent

These people had the courage of their convictions and as usual noone values anyone who is prepared to stand up and be counted.Says a lot about the deriders!

👍😂😂 unelected.

Chukka and Soubry await results at their Party Headquarters!

One objective to remain! Yet they slag Brexit Party off for only having one objective! Hopefully they will have a poor performance and then we can say bye bye to the likes of Soubry and co,I for one won’t miss them

They will soon be forgotton.

Will they return to their original parties lol

🤞

Well that's screwed the Kay Burley show for a whole year. Excellent. 😋

Let’s hope so... bunch of self serving, hypocritical good for nothing’s

Had forgotten all about them. 🙄

lewis_goodall you’re at it here again. Your whole premise in this piece is Remain is being rejected because CUK etc haven’t gotten their acts together logistically- instead of being honest in reporting that the Brexit Party are smashing it because the country wants a WTO Brexit

And because all of them did not accept the democratic vote so bye bye!

Would anyone notice.

Don't tell us they will 'CHUK' in the towel 😂😂

Who?

Then let's see if they have the decency to resign or still betray and make fools of the people, no balls,no policies,no loyalty,Soubry will not be missed arrogant self important person

Finish ?

Will be sad because they provide good entertaintment

They’ve only got one objective second referendum THEN WHAT? 🤔

Good they wasn’t elected for the party they represent. By-election they know would be bye bye 😂

Finish off When did they start

A good thing

Haha bunch of idiots.

Beautiful
