UK Independence Party

So this is the day after Burnham, which is today, obviously celebrated 100 days in office and only a couple of days after an opinion poll came out.

I don't know if you saw that, which has put Farage and Reform slash UKIP in competition.

third place behind the Conservatives.

So they're taking a handrail.

He called it to get a few votes back.

He was worried we were going to go to UKIP to placate the file, right? When it all went tits up, he...

As Danny Dyer so aptly put it, what a twat.

He just fucked off and left us all to it.

this is what? The third version of this party? Fourth?

Excuse me, fourth version? Yeah, so what? UKIP...

Brexit, Reform.

Yeah, is that three?

Do you have another one in between? I feel like he should have done, but I don't think he did.

I think it was just Brexit.

No, it was UKIP, Brexit, Reform.

It's just everyone following him, basically.

So we then adapted our name to be more congruent with essentially what we're fighting for, which is Cape Independence.

Similar to in the United Kingdom, Nigel Farage had the UKIP, the United Kingdom Independence Party, and the movement that he was fighting for was Brexit.

Similarly to us here in the Western Cape, we're the Cape Independence Party, and we're fighting for Cape Exit.

So our abbreviation is Cape Exit, and our full name is Cape Independence

He had one seat.

Nigel Farage had one seat in the UK government.

yet when, and he was fighting for UK independence from the European Union, yet when it came to a referendum, the majority of British people were on the side of Nigel Farage and UKIP.

So even though we have a Cape Exit, we've got two seats in government, so we've got double the amount of seats that Nigel Farage had, You know, people vote for many different reasons and fear is one of the strongest ones.

And I think it speaks to, like, This has happened to Farage before.

UKIP collapsed when it became just full of lunatics.

He's gotten to this point before where he's got a national movement and it's so based around his personality and his personal popularity.

Once you get below him, things fall off a cliff really quickly.

But what annoys me is there's only really one right of centre politician voice on that show.

It used to be Stefan Dom, who I think were a bit on the UKIP-y side.

Now it's the, now it's the guy, I can't remember, is his wife a vicar or something? They're quite funny, but they're a little bit like Cameroonian conservative, I think, small C.

And they're in there, they're just in there as the light relief.
