(11 Dec 2019) Brexit Party's Nigel Farage spent his last day of the election campaign in Doncaster, amongst neighbourhoods faithful to the Labour party for decades.
Speaking to reporters on his last leg of his election campaign Wednesday, Farage said the traditional Labour stronghold "are overwhelmingly against the European Union."
"So La bour faces this huge problem – 35 to 40 percent of its support in areas like this has a completely different view to most of its leadership and they've really been trapped by this," he added.
"I've been Labour all my life but there's no councillors come round, asking you different questions or is there anything you want," lamented 81-year-old Albert Thompson, who has been a lifetime Labour supporter.
"I'm just absolutely pissed off with Labour," he added.
Farage is hoping tactical voting will pay off – enough weight to pressure on UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson into making changes to the deal he negotiated with Brussels.
"We're on the way towards Brexit, it's happening. But is it going to be the right one?" Farage added.
Marilyn Tuck, a 66-year-old retiree, said she is disappointed that UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the Brexit group did not join hands in this election.
"I've always been Conservative but I'm disappointed with Boris not joining in. It'd been great. So I'm going with the Brexit Party and hopefully we can get a few seats and hopefully we can get out of the EU because I'm sick of them," she added.
Seeking to broaden his party's appeal, Farage also is trumpeting policies including the abolition of Parliament's unelected upper chamber, the House of Lords.
He also advocate to slash immigration to under 50,000 people a year, less than a quarter of current levels.
