Nigel Farage has answered the long-running question of whether he would stand in the UK general election, saying campaigning for Trump in the US would be of “global significance”.
Brexit leader Nigel Farage has announced that he will not stand in the UK general election on 4 July. Said. In a statement about his decision, Mr Farage said that while the competition to choose the next British government is important, the US presidential election has long been discussed in British right-wing circles as having the potential to have a significant impact on the election. The winner will have a global impact, he said. .
“While this election matters,” Farage wrote, the US election “has huge global significance”.
Although Mr Farage did not name US poll leader Donald J. Trump in his letter, the pair have always been clear about their friendship and mutual admiration. Farage was the first foreign politician to meet with Trump after he won the US presidential election in 2016, and has campaigned for Trump in the past.

Mr Farage alluded to the worrying global security situation, particularly the sudden escalation of conflicts during Biden’s presidency, which critics blame on Biden’s weak foreign policy, while saying that the UK and the world have He said he was in a better situation. “A strong United States as a close ally is critical to our peace and security. I intend to support American grassroots movements in any way I can.”
This is nothing new for Farage, who has made clear in the past that he believes the world is less safe under Biden than it was under Trump.
Farage also took aim at the UK Reform Party, which he founded and is led and funded by the well-heeled Richard Tice. He noted that a prototype unionist party has developed at the centre of British politics, where the Conservatives have held firm for 14 years but are essentially governed as a left-wing, high-tax, open-borders party. “The choice between Labour and the Conservatives is not an emotional one,” Farage said this year in understatement.
But despite this, he said, “only reform has the radical policies needed to put an end to the decline.”
As things stand, the Conservative Party is projected to suffer a heavy defeat in the July 4 election, winning 23% of the vote to Labour’s 45%, according to the BBC polling company. Because of Britain’s single-seat constituency system, this result is unlikely to translate directly into seats, which would give Labour a historic supermajority.
The Reform Party has been growing over the past two years, with some results putting it at 16 percent, but the trend is in the low teens, and if the polls are to be believed, it has a long way to go in the next six weeks if it wants to win many seats.
Mr Farage has previously suggested that a future British left-wing government could use his friendship with Mr Trump to appoint him ambassador to Washington. The intent of this unlikely offer to Labor’s ideological opponents appears to be to avoid re-election during the previous Trump presidency. Because Mr. Trump’s innate goodwill towards the British people at the time was wasted by the deterioration of the British state both by the election of other Trumps and his presidential campaign. Brexit process. An easy victory like the US-UK trade deal was not achieved, and the chance was lost with the election of Biden, a self-proclaimed Anglophobe.
