Nigel Farage now has a big decision to make. Of course, he may have already made up his mind, and as usual, is keeping everyone guessing, which of course keeps him centre stage where he likes to be.

If he decides to take a leading role in Reform UK, there will be a lot of electioneering, doorknocking and maybe the odd milkshake from his detractors.

He will be adored by many, but will need bodyguards 24/7 as extreme elements will try to make his political journey difficult, or preferably impossible by whatever means they can dream up.

He will also be under political pressure from heavyweight socialists from the Labour Party, and lightweight socialists from the Conservative party.

All in all, this would be a very challenging time for Nigel. He also could potentially fail to get a seat in the UK Parliament, and his political power would then be considerably diminished.

Alternatively, Nigel has a job offer in the US, working with Donald Trump. Details of this job are not clear, but in the States he is lauded as a hero. He is Mr Brexit. He is a high achiever and someone who can take centre stage with everyone cheering and slapping him on the back.

Also, let’s not forget, his earning capacity in the US would be stratospheric compared to the possibility of a British MP’s £86,584 pocket money.

We tend to think of Nigel is a politician, but in reality he is a businessman, who stepped away to get us out of the clutches of the EU Commissioners Empire building plans.

I imagine he’s torn between the two options. As a true Brit, his heart is clearly with the United Kingdom. As a businessman, I’m sure he is very much persuaded by the opportunities and rewards he would receive by packing his bags and setting off for the States.

If I was in his shoes, I would be thinking I’d done everything I could to get the UK out of the EU, and it’s up to British voters to vote for a party that will establish full independence, while exploiting all the growth and advantages that status would make available.

Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats and the Greens are all set to build closer links with the EU Empire, while pretending that’s not their plan.

Out of the top five political parties, only the fledgeling Reform UK, battling against lack of funds, a list of inexperienced PPCs and support teams, has a comprehensive contract with the people, that includes severing restrictive EU treaties created by Teresa May and Boris Johnson.

Clearly, the return of Nigel Farage would boost Reform UK’s chances of making a significant political impact. However, in his mind it must be a battle between uncomfortable “duty” and the rewards that await him over the pond.

Richard Tice, Ben Habib, Dr David Bull and other talented people will clearly do their best to elicit your vote, but the resurgence of Nigel Farage as Reform leader, would probably result in a good number of Parliamentary seats.

I have a feeling Nigel is thinking Reform will do extremely well in the 2029 GE, after a heavy dose of socialism from Labour and their union bedfellows, has ground the UK down, while multiple Tory factions are still fighting like rats in a sack, and their party is still distrusted by the electorate, after 14 years of failure.

If he takes up the job in Trump’s team, Nigel could probably return to the UK in 2029, like the cavalry on a charge, with a fattor wallet, and the British electorate desperate for a strong leader.

Of course, only Nigel really knows!

What do you think he’ll do?
