LONDON - Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday ruled out an electoral pact with Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party, which had warned that the Conservatives would take a “real kicking” in an election if Brexit was not a clean break from the EU.
While parliament has so far blocked two of Johnson’s requests for an election, Farage said it was clear that there would be one soon and that traditional party loyalties to Conservative and Labour had changed due to Brexit. “The Conservatives will take a real kicking from Nov. 1 onwards,” Farage added. “I very much hope that Boris Johnson will simply look at the numbers. If we stand against them, they cannot win a majority.”A senior Conservative Party source added that Farage was not a “fit and proper” person and should not be allowed anywhere near government.
