It is still unclear whether there will soon be new elections in the UK. A candidate still brings in position. Nigel Farage, leader of the Brexit party, has announced that he intends to stand for election at the next general election in the UK. "Of course I'm ready," he told the station "Sky News" on demand.
As the current British parliament is deeply divided over Brexit, experts predict that there may be new elections in the UK before the end of 2019.
Nigel Farage is considered a Brexit hardliner. As an MEP, he was in favor of Britain's withdrawal from the European Union (EU) - at that time as the head of the EU-hostile Ukip party. After a narrow majority voted in favor of Britain's exit in the Brexit referendum in 2016, Farage resigned. "My part is done," he said at the time.
Nearly three years later, Farage became boss of the newly formed Brexit party, whose goal is to enforce Brexit. In the UK, this apparently hit a nerve. After the postponement of the EU's departure, the Brexit party won 30.5 percent of the vote in the EU poll in the United Kingdom, putting it in first place in the national ranking.
Police checked speech from Farage
Most recently, Farage made it into the headlines with aggressive remarks on Brexit that resulted in a police investigation. The politician had been disrespectful to supporters in Newport on 21 September about the work of government officials.

They are "overpaid desk workers" who did "no neutral work". "When the Brexit is completed, we bring the knife to them. All right, I have enough of everything." One should rather believe the bosses of the ports of Calais and Dover on the English Channel, who said that they were one hundred percent prepared for the Brexit.
Speech understood as a call to violence
The police then received complaints that saw in the speech a call for violence. Others said in the short message service Twitter, that it is a non-literal phrase. The Gwent police in Wales reviewed the incident, but saw no reason for further investigation, she said on Saturday.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson, too, was recently heavily criticized for his choice of words in parliament. He himself was unimpressed by this: If words such as "capitulation" were banished from political discourse, it would threaten to impoverish the language.
His sister Rachel Johnson, however, called such a choice of words "highly reprehensible." Her brother used words such as "collaborator" and "traitor" in connection with opponents of unregulated Brexit, as if they were "hanged, gutted and quartered" for their opinion.
Also, more than 100 bishops of the Church of England had criticized the language used in the dispute over the Brexit in parliament.
