Why voters are flocking to Nigel Farage's Brexit Party

In the last six surveys on how Brits intend to vote in the EU polls, the Brexit Party have got a higher share of the vote than the Remain Parties.
Mr Farage is set to sweep the elections later this week and win the most seats and highest vote share in the UK.
But why are voters abandoning their traditional loyalties to pledge their support to the Brexit Party?

[@desoliver9712]

What are their policies?

[@1chish]

@@desoliver9712 Do your own research. But briefly: a) to get us out of the EU as soon as possible to enact the 2016 Referendum decision. b) To enable that enter into ETO Article 24 arrangement with the EU as has been approved already by the WTO c) To then as soon as possible negotiate a friendly Free trade agreement. And if that is not possible leave under WTO Free Trade terms. As for domestic policy: a) Remove the House of Lords b) Change the FPTP voting system to be more in line with other modern democracies and make the House of Commons more reflective and representational of the electorate c) Foreign Policy will reflect support for NATO but not if the EU creates their own army. d) Expect a multi-lateral defence agreement with the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand aka '5 Eyes'. As for domestic economic policies this will be published right after the Euro Elections. But expect a right of centre low tax small government style but with far more domestic support through taxation and Government contracts for UK industry and suppliers. Like building all our Navy ships here in the UK rather than South Korea as the last 4 were. There you go .....

Can Nigel Farage create his own path toward Prime Minister position without a coalition with other partys that would dilute Nigel's REVOLUTION. Such that the monarchy cannot stop. Push the Windsor's off their throne. This would be a greater event than the Civil War against King Charles I, in 1640's. No violence but the monarchy ENDS. England is truly liberated after many centuries of unreasonable ruling decisions such as - - WAR - - that financially benefits too well the House of Lord members. I am an anglo saxon American patriot, I hope England does end its Monarchy in 2019. Nigel I want to shake your hand as I want to shake Donald Trump's hand & Viktor Orban's hand. You are a PEACEFUL Revolutionary, even if things do not happen as I hope in my life time. To the death with Globalism. Christ's Kingdom comes.

[@zeniktorres4320]

Take it over the line Farage!

[@paulbanks223]

The polls indicate that Mr Farage's new party commands more votes than the remain based parties combined. If I recall one poll stood at Brexit Party 35% and combined pure leave parties at 32%. Which would be in fact a reflection of the 2016 vote. I do not think the mood or will for Brexit has lessened in those 3 years. Labour/Conservatives you tell me where they are, I cannot recall a time in politics when both parties simultaneously had such a low public opinion, they are not at odds with each other they are just totally at odds with the electorate. Nor can I recall a time when such rank incompetence was so rife within Westminster or a time when so little courage was about the place. Cameron with his I wont pay 1.7billion started this ball rolling, you give in to terrorists, blackmailers or bullies and they just come back for more. May went in weak and has been weak ever since, unfortunately it seems it is contagious, lets hope it is confined to Westminster, then we can sanitise it at a later date.
