I thought /pol/ was always right?
I thought brexit was going to save England?
I thought Farage was going to save England?
Why is he quitting /pol/? Could it be possible he actually never had a plan to save England and is now jumping a sinking ship?
But you were always right /pol/, can you explain this?
>>79713253
he's quitting?

Nigel Farage got into politics with a specific goal, accomplished it in his view, and stepped down. This is the epitome of what a politician should fucking do. Not get cozy with power and become a career politician, not vaguely work towards a nebulous goal that will never be truly realized like "help the poor" or "embrace diversity," but one that is concrete and achievable. Once he achieved that, he stepped down, and even though other politicians wouldn't think of it(because as Nigel himself said, most of them have never had a real job in their lives), that should be the standard that they should follow.
He went in with a goal he felt was right, worked to accomplish that goal, and said "fuck politics I'm out" when his goal was completed.

Farage quit as party leader once before.
He's not retiring anytime soon.
I heard he was planning to spend as much time in the EU as possible while he still has a job there.
>>79714553
Are you sure though?
Farage: "Absolutely. There can be compromises with the EU, including on a possible British contribution to the EU budget" - shortly after the results of the referendum.
Everybody knows that the UK will pay the EU either way. Access to the single market might as well be even more expensive than the special deal UK has right now.

Have they realised that we will stuck be sucking brussels dick outside the EU but without a say this time? Are have they realised we will get a shit ton more mudslimes from the commonwealth?
To say Farage is devisive is an understatement; understand that if UKIP is to gain wider public appeal, it needs a change of face at the helm. I'm sure that it's better to do this now and hopefully there'll be less backlash over whatever happens later

It amazes me how on a politics forum how many people on here are genuinely political illiterate.
UKIP needs soft reform to capitalise and take the North of England. As great as Farage is, he is incredibly toxic to vast scores of the general public.
He is also not a member of Parliament, to deem him accountable when he has essentially headed a political pressure group is complete naivety. He's achieved his goal and if UKIP is to develop it needs an outlined new direction post referendum (just not under Carswell/Evans).

I think democracy is dogshit and probably the worst form of government imaginable, but I thought liberals all loved it. Why they get so mad that the 52% are telling them what to do anyway? Those sheep love mob rule. And even more than that, they love smarter people than them telling them what is ultimately better for them. Farage tells them what's good for them and they still get mad.
Can't win with these sheep. Their ancestors tried to give them rights and a choice in running their country and they'd rather just hand it over to a pretty much non-country that thinks water can't hydrate you.

Oh my, I am shocked, shocked i tell you, to learn that another Brexit Backer drops off as soon as it's time to actually do the legwork and live with the consequences rather than xenophobic grandstanding and lies.
On the plus side, this is confirming the hypothesis that once UKIP gets its singular issue, it will stop existing. Of course its arseholes will scatter to Britain First, the tories and the EDL but it's some minor silver lining

1) He's leaving UKIP now that it is essentially redundant. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever, he did what he said out to do.
2) We haven't even left the EU yet, so you can't comment on the effects yet.
3) Farage might even be resigning so he can work in Leadsom's government in the Tory party

Because he's a fucking faggot. He had the spotlight and could have used this to usher the UK into a new political era of nationalism. Do you not understand that this was his opportunity to spring himself to the next level as a high ranking political leader? Instead he abandoned ship, leaving the EU deal to be brokered by Leftist faggots and as a result you will still have immigration as a contingency for fair trade deals. He just left the right wing high and dry and now they will fail without leadership.

How exactly? He's as high ranking as he can get by leading UKIP. For him to be any higher he would have to either job the Tories or Labour and get them to elect him as their leader, and then win the general election. Magic is more realistic than that happening.

If you go here and click around, you can see some live statistics about the speed of each board- new threads on top, new replies on the bottom.
https://catalog.neet.tv/stats.html
The posting rate roughly matches up with pic related, which is a few years old I believe.
As you can see, /b/, /v/+/vg/, and /pol/ each get more traffic than all of the otaku boards combined.
/pol/'s userbase is as casual and disconnected from the rest of the site as /b/tards and /v/ermin. People come here, probably via /b/, and go directly to /pol/ without taking any interest in the content-oriented boards.
There's also the phenomenon where Internet polls tend to come back more conservative than telephone polls, suggesting that conservatives are more vocal on the Internet.

>>79720181
>>79720341
So explain Farage's timing, then.
Why didn't he step down the day after the Brexit referendum? Why not step down right then? That would have been a nice mic-drop moment, don't you think?
Or why didn't he wait to step down until after the UK officially, once-and-for-all left the EU? Nothing is carved into stone yet. How come he didn't stay on until the job was actually done?
Instead he chose to step down after all these other guys resigned because they don't want to deal with the fallout of the referendum. Farage doesn't want to deal with it either because he's as big of a coward as the rest of them.

Nigel has no say in the invoking of article 50, even if he were to be vocal on the matter his view would be taken as opinion and nothing more, whether he was leading UKIP or not.
Did you expect him to remain the leader of UKIP till his dying day? As everyday they're out of the EU is technically a day that they'd be living with the consequences of leaving the EU.
He's campaigned for this for almost as long as I've been alive. A change in leadership will be good for UKIP, gives the party and opportunity to refocus their goals now that their biggest has been achieved.
>>79713253

He'll see through the end of his term in the EU parliament (about 2 years, from what I've heard). That's more than enough time to pull the trigger on Article 50 and get the fuck out.
>>79721629
He can lead his party and try to get UKIPs as MPs. It's funny how they campaigned Brexit as anti-immigration move as well, are UKIP people just going to dissolve their one goal party and leave United Kingdom for the old parties who are more than happy to fill them with immigrants, is that their independence?
I wonder what their real problem with EU even was, if they're going to be just fine with far greater money sink and much bigger threat to their people's sovereignty.

You're so delusional. First of all, that graph even if it was ever accurate is in fact outdated, /pol/ has gotten much larger than /v/.
Second, how can you say they're "disconnected" from the site when they make up the majority of it? How is a board like /adv/ which is slow as fuck and has users that are obviously from Reddit and Tumblr more "4chan" than boards like /pol/ which are filled with everything that people associate with 4chan?
A lot of people on /pol/ and previously /new/ came from boards like /b/, /a/, or /v/, and some still crosspost on other boards. A lot of people from places like Reddit go to directly to boards like /g/ or /his/ without touching other boards, so this isn't a phenomenon exclusive to any board. Old /jp/ had a lot of /pol/acks and Paulbergs.
Finally, the idea that the internet is more "conservative" is so retarded I don't even know where to begin. The internet is pretty much a safe space for leftists since it skews younger and more activisim-oriented. Look at Reddit, Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, NeoGAF, Something Awful, etc. Filled with them. Even 4chan now has people who support political correctness. And your idea of online polls skewing more toward the right wing is stupid. A lot of online polls indicated that the Brexit wasn't gonna happen.
>>79713253
Sounds to me like there is two reasons for this:
1. Removing himself from UKIP means he may be able to team up with Andrea Leadsom.
2. Removing himself from UKIP means that UKIP will become a more viable party in the future as the youth of this country have been poisoned by the media to hate him..
>>79727413
This.
I still post on a plethora of other boards.
>>79713936
He needs to be a part of Brexit government and fight for at least one term on Downing Street. Perhaps he has agreement with Leadsom and we will see him in her cabinet. Perphaps he wants people to ask him to go back and he will go back, because people called him back, not out of personal desire. Realpolitik.
