The pound is now flying. The downside to that is, the “window of being able to buy British stuff up on the cheap” is closing fast!
Theresa May must now surely know that any further interference by the main parties as to Farage being thwarted in his attempts to become an MP at Worstmonster - now need to stop.
I suspect Trump, in returning the favour for Farage’s recent support - might now help him win literally the very next parliamentry seat going.
I think there are laws in place to prevent Trump from donating money directly to UKIP, but what about Farage personally?
Imagine a by-election comes up, anywhere in England or Wales (they being the Brexit states in the UK)…
Trump only need offer to buy Farage a house in that constituency, Farage moves in their temporarily, gets his name on the ballot, and hey presto - multiple chances to get Farage shoehorned into Parliament before the next general election even comes along.
Farage is NOT currently an MP. He is not restricted then from getting “Gratuities” from any admirer - even the shortly-to-become the most powerful man on the planet.
Trump not getting things done - what? - With the Republicans owning the upper house as well?
Pull the other one!
It’s a perfect base from which to launch a more “Autocratic” style, only held in check by Trump’s lack of experience as a politician.
The Republicans themselves will now be able to make sweeping changes, with Trump as the investment vehicle they bet the ranch on - and won. All due credit for “Taking that chance” on Trump then.
As for the “Anti-Democratic” faction - Get over it. You lost!
Trump didn’t even win by a ■■■-paper margin - Over 300 electoral votes is a decent victory by any counts. “Go home and Die” Bush in 2000 saw the democrats of 8 years replaced by a Gnat’s Chuff margin of victory, where Al Gore, like Hilary now it seems - won the popular vote count, but lost the election. The system is rigged alright. It’s called “First past the Post”. The Democrats had a chance to reform that system, but neglected to do so - and have now paid the price. 2020 - Bring it on! The EU are going to stall the UK government in any way they can to keep the UK from having Brexit done and dusted by 2020. If it is NOT done then - Theresa May is toast. Her party is toast. The rebel voters won’t be going over to Loony Labour - They’ll be protest voting for UKIP and easily winning enough seats in the still-unchanged FPTP system to force a coalition government, which I predict can only be with the belittled Tories. The South of England has a lot of areas that now see Brexit “not hurting them”. Over time, more and more people that originally voted Remain will be won over. The same can be said of any working class folk up north that might have supported Remain because it was the Labour Party Line. I predict the next election will be a three-way split with three parties getting a 3-digit number of seats - IF Brexit is not COMPLETED by then. Right now, 3 years is a long time. BUT nothing has even been started yet, and all President Trump has to do to “Help things along” - is merely “Avoid being assassinated by the anti-democracy movement” by that point.
