It doesn't matter Benji. Sargon might not make it. We don't know, he's the dark horse candidate.
The Arya Stark that jumps from the shadow to take on Verhofstadt.
But our boi Nigel is doing well for himself so all is good.
Because the EU is run by psychopaths.
Let's use unborn children for our political ads because we're entirely out of ideas and your unborn child is potentially in danger.

They fucked up:- Euro
- Terrorism (everything they did, especially invading Libya made everything worse)
- Employment (youth unemployment is high in a number of states (over 50%))
- Expansion to the East (Ukraine is a fucking mess)
- Migration (migrants piled up in Greece for years before they finally took action)
- Basic democratic rights (in France protesters are getting beat up every weekend)
The borg is now moving on to:- Everything that is fun (from fast cars to Netflix, everything needs to be regulated)
- Military (combined EU Army)
- Retirement savings
- EU Taxation
- Healthcare
Remember Maidan?
Here Verhofstadt declared victory on Russia in the political fight over Ukraine on February 21st. Announcing sanctions to deter Russian agression and promising the EU would stand with Ukraine.
Yanukovich fled the next day on February 22nd. A week later (February 27th) Putin would send his green men to occupy Crimea.
Usually when so many things go wrong you can vote out the people responsible.
The EU is turning very much into the EUSSR with the same faces and political blocks clinging on to power and dangling carrots like 'Free Wifi' or 10 year economic plans.
It is shocking how far the EU is removed from its original goal and purpose. Which was always to spread democracy, freedom a more equal society and to fight corruption.
The EU is sort of stuck in place so the only way to get back to a more free society is to break it apart so the individual states can once again serve their citizens instead of the borg.
Because in principe everyone in Europe agrees that we should work together but many of us don't like this particular way of authoritarian rule from Brussels fueled by the failed ideology of sparpolitik(austerity) and people that masturbate to the thought of another war with Russia.
