Listen Boris, I have been a commentator on A LOT of elections. I only lost one over the years, and that was the election where mr. Trump got elected. Even that election was a half win, since mr. Trump still is a reader here at Rubicon.

The first mistake that is often done in elections, is unrealistic projections. To win, you need to be painfully honest to yourself. What are REALLY the ups and downs of a election.

The thing is, you CANNOT win on the deal you have made with the EU. This I do not say to say you have not done your best. But the fact of the matter is, that only through a friendship with mr. Farage are you going to have the support you need to win in the different boroughs of the UK. Why? Because if he decides to fight you in all of the UK, you will loose too many seats.

So you HAVE to come to some kind of agreement with mr. Farage.

He doesn’t support the EU agreement, so you need to find a way to make some kind of compromise.

The second problem with the deal, is, according to my friend Melanie Philips, the fact, that the agreement does not live up to the expectations of the electorate. To be honest, I do not really know the ins and outs of the agreement, but I know the voters. They want to be free. That is it, not more not less.

If the UK is still tied to the EU after the Brexit, they will be mad as, I don’t know, something not so good.

Thirdly, there is the Queen to consider. I know, that she does not have a political role to play directly. But she is the caretaker of the empire, and she wants to get out. Because the empire is suffering.

Getting on the wrong side of the Queen, is not a good place to be. She deserves our respect.

So, as I see it, you need to make some kind of deal with mr. Farage. I know, that it goes against the ingrained self respect that comes with being an Oxford alumni. But this is not about you, it is about the country, and there working with an upstart as Farage is needed to get the majority in house.

As we used to say, united we stand, divided we fall. It is the same in this situation.

You have to bite that apple, and after that, you will win as sure as the suns rises on Brasenose college.

G-d bless the will of the people.
