This should really not come as a surprise.  UKIP was formed on a singular principle, the “United Kingdom Independence Party” (hence, UKIP).
After achieving Brexit, what most political observers said was “the impossible”, Nigel Farage is leaving UKIP while most certainly ‘on top’.  Mr. Farage steps down from leading the insurgent party to focus on how he can aid other small national insurgencies to achieve their own national independence.

(Via Reuters) The leader of the insurgent right-wing UK Independence Party said on Monday he was stepping down after realising his ambition to win a vote for Britain to leave the EU, the latest twist in a dramatic reshaping of the nation’s politics.

There are times when people state our optimism in the 2016 presidential election is missing the required amount of caution or concern.  However, what many of those voices don’t realize is the research-based reasoning for our outlook.
If you tune out the media noise, look around and pay close attention, you can see the groundwork for an epic landslide everywhere.

The historical playbook of the oppositional left (for sake of expediency Democrats) has always been to carve the larger electorate into smaller, more manageable, sub categories they call “interest groups”.  Those groups are then micro-targeted with campaign messaging tailored to their self-interest; and historically they have been successful.
The traditional method to countering this approach (pushed by a set of political consultants who genuinely think they understand, but factually are wrong) has been to apply the same strategic targeting -campaign message- back upon the carved out, by tailoring a counter ideological message to their needs.

Very salty language, but the points made are insanely accurate.
With the context of the last twelve months of sunlight upon a political process as a backdrop, this George Carlin segment is essentially the USA version of the Brexit argument.

[Transcript]  “There’s a reason education SUCKS, and it’s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it, be happy with what you’ve got.

Because the owners of this country don’t want that. I’m talking about the REAL owners, now. The REAL owners, the BIG WEALTHY business interests that control things and make all the important decisions — forget the politicians.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “2016 Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Presidential Race and/or any of the candidates therein.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Ever since they initially came on the political scene, it has always seemed odd that no reporter ever asks: “when was the last time you saw your husband?.
There’s absolutely nothing within the definition of “marriage” that fits the two professional politicians, Bill and Hillary.  Their relationship is always in the abstract when referenced.

Hillary doesn’t stand a chance of winning the election. There’s a reason why no-one shows up to her events, speeches or rallies. Authenticity is always a key aspect to electoral victory; she just ain’t got it.

A Canadian documentary filmmaker has produced an independent documentary about the Walter Scott shooting that is almost identical to the research review we presented in April of 2015.
The title of the film is “Frame 394”. You decide if there’s a rather curious similarity:

Here’s the original research outline we presented April 10th, 11th and 12th 2015

Before watching this video it’s important to note something.  Brianna Keilar is filling in for Jake Tapper on State of the Union.  CNN’s Brianna Keiler was previously on assignment as an embed reporter with the Hillary Clinton campaign during the campaign.
Notice how no other network shifts an embed “reporter” into a position of punditry other than CNN. Jake Tapper used to work for Chelsea Cinton’s mother-in-law.  If you have followed their “reporting” you’ll note both Tapper and Keilar are the primary “journ-o-list” advocates for Hillary Clinton on the network:
