The Financial Times reports that the UK Political Elite feels completely stunned

Maurice Duverger’s Law, one of the most important law of political science, may be on the verge of failure.

I think Farage is a clown, but it’s good to see this silly political system finally under pressure.

Most democratic nations don’t have only 2 ruling political parties for a century.

    Maybe Labour should start behaving like a left-wing party instead of a Tony Blair tribute band.

      The way labour behaves demonstrates to people that it doesnt matter how they vote: In then end the 1% get richer, the rest gets the boot.

      Small wonder that people are angry. But Farage, the man who instigated brexit but then left the sinking ship.
