Both Labour and the Tories have said they want a deal. You have to understand that Nigel isn't everyone's cup of tea. If you want to leave, but don't want to give your support to Farage,who do you vote for? UKIP is out of the question, I would hope that much is obvious to you.
It's more speculative when it comes to Labour, since they are incoherent with regards Brexit. But the Tories, Farage is a Conservative in terms of his political lean, He was a member of the Conservatives until 1992, when we signed the Maastricht Treaty.
It's fun interpreting of numbers the way you see fit. How many Tory voters in 2014 voted Leave in 2016? And of those, how many are now voting Brexit Party in 2019?
I can't tell you that, there are no figures to be able to determine this with any accuracy. All we can do is speculate.
It's clear to me that there is increased appetite for us to leave.

Pro-leave have 1.2 million more votes than just before we voted to leave. How else do you expect me to interpret that? How do you interpret that?
That's how confirmation bias works, yup. You're never surprised.
I was surprised when we voted to leave.
If we have another referendum, leave will win by an even greater margin.

Hypothetically speaking, if there is one and your side lost, would you then accept the result?
I'm not sure. If turnout was as high as the first referendum, it would be hard to ignore. But it would create a massive political shitstorm that would result in the Brexit Party becoming a serious contender for government. What happens then? If Farage is Prime Minister, he'll take us out without a referendum. He will campaign under that promise. So I'd vote for him.
Hypothetically speaking, if there was another referendum, and we voted to remain, and then Farage then won an election with the promise to take us out, and he then took us out, would you accept it?
If it gets to the point where the only way Brexit happens is for Farage to become PM and do a no-deal pullout, that would work best as far as it goes because it'd likely be such a disaster for the economy that Brexit as an idea would die a quick and painful death.
It's amusing that you mock my "pure speculation" and then you say this.
Not enough that I want to lose £1k a year in earnings to witness it...
Oh yeah, I forgot this is about you, and not about the UK.
