Boris/nigel Alliance?
... could yield a 40 seat majority at least. Also scrolling down the page to the 'Brexit Mapped' illustration is quite salutary especially for the Brexit saboteurs to see how out of touch they really are;

If the next election were only fought on Brexit, then, yes, a Boris/Nigel alliance could be very powerful. But we'll see. And as danny says, Farage and Johnson are not really best friends. Indeed, as long as Cummings is a key adviser in Downing Street then the chances of such an alliance are virtually nil.
Why would anyone want to vote for the Brexit party if a no deal or indeed any sort of Brexit has occurred?
The main way the BP might help the Tories is perhaps by standing in some labour seats in the north, and not standing at all just about anywhere else. But the motivation would no longer be there to vote for them.
Johnson wants to crush the Brexit Party as he sees it as a threat to the Tories winning an election. Pre Brexit he does that by pretending to be them. Post Brexit he is not going to do a deal with them! That would be like knocking out your opponent and then offering them a draw.
An election where Brexit is still an issue is a different matter, however.

In the event of a GE before we are out I'd expect any dissension regarding a pro-leave alliance to be overruled. It's too important for personal likes and dislikes, and the anti-democrats have already shown that they're willing to have a pact in order to defeat the majority vote re Brexit.
As for the Brexit party after Brexit, they have options. They can update themselves in order to be a multi goal party, or they could bow out. Or maybe seek a merger with another party. We'll have to wait and see.

I only have rescue dogs and usually jack russells, I got my last fellow from these people. Oddly enough, NOT the one in my avatar but equally as tenacious. Hopefully they'll make it easy for you to donate. Thanks.

ichi //If you look at the personnel of the Brexit Party, most of them are pretty motley crew, held together by Farage.
I know their cry was “change politics” but they have nothing serious to offer the country beyond Brexit. //
How do you know that? What I have seen, they come from many walks of life and experience, almost anybody would be better than many of the "motley crew" sitting in Parliament at the moment.
What is it that qualifies a person to be an MP?

What a lovely choice of charity, TTT. :)
I won't donate just now (off out shortly) but I wanted to post to say that I've seen it. Probably will get around to it tonight.
Regretting not insisting on November -- although the present opposition strategy suggests I might have lost *that* bet too -- but harder to lose to a worthier cause. And I'll still claim the moral high ground that the next election isn't going to be as far away as 2022 :P

What qualifies you to be an MP are the votes you receive. And that’s it.
I didn’t say they weren’t qualified. From what I’ve seen they wouldn’t be particularly good MPs.
Rather as UKIP didn’t make particularly good councillors by and large.
But the Brexit Party are there for one issue and good luck to them.
If they get what they are after then that will be that.
