Brexit Party Will Not Contend The Brecon Seat Held By The Pro Remain Libdems

[Gromit]

Brecon is the only seat that the Brexit Party have ever contested.
They fielded a candidate in the recent by-election and got a pathetic 3,331 votes.

That’s another £500 deposit saved !!!

//Nigel Farage announced it [the Brexit party] would not stand in seats the Conservatives won in 2017.//

There a eight of them, not one. A link is always useful - especially if you don't want to mislead people.

It is not a Conservative seat.

but you answered your own question, they made no impression on it last time so what's the point in losing a deposit? He didn't say all the seats he was not contesting were conservative. I know your labour lot are taking a beating but this is getting desperate.

gromit, for a non Labour supporter you don't arf support them a lot, you sure you're not a storm trooper?

Tora
Er, how is this thread supporting the Labour Party ?

[ToraToraTora]

yeah gromit wrong thread with that one, apologies, I meant to put it on one of your many other Labour supporting threads.

Also the Unite to Remain Pact is working here.
This is largely the reason The LibDems won the by-election in August, Plaid and the Greens stood down their candidates and urged them to vote LibDem, with a positive result.

Unite to Remain is in use in 32 Conservative held seats, and is just as significant as the Brexit Party standing down.

Seems sensible to me. A remain constituency that you got a very small number of votes, why waste time and money flogging a dead horse?

Brecon was a Tory seat and if the BP had not stood at the by-election it would still be a Tory seat.
