UK: The Conservatives have suffered their first electoral defeat under Boris Johnson. Good!

Breitbart Europe:

Losing the Brecon and Radnorshire seat by a narrow squeak to the Lib Dems was just the short, sharp shock the Tories needed if we are to end up with a meaningful Brexit on October 31.

Had their candidate Chris Davies won, the Tories might have become complacent.

As it was, he was pipped to the post by the leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats Jane Dodds who beat him by 1,425 votes. But that’s only because The Brexit Party candidate Des Parkinson split the vote. Had his 3,331 gone to the Tories instead, this would easily have been enough to get them over the line.

Some people are saying that this is a disaster for Boris’s government: it now has a working majority of one in Parliament – not nearly enough to get through whatever Brexit-or-bust scheme that Boris and his team need to deliver if Britain is not to become a Venezuela-style basket case under Marxist Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn.

I disagree.

It seems to me that the most plausible danger facing Britain right now is that Boris fluffs Brexit by dusting off Theresa May’s disastrous Withdrawal Agreement, pretending that the only thing wrong with it is the Backstop, and keeping Britain permanently in hock to the Euroweenies by remaining under the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.

That’s why we so badly need The Brexit Party as a viable force to keep Boris honest. read more
