While there are differences of emphasis and factional allegiance among H&D readers, the following are candidates whose results will be of particular interest. It is evident that outside Northern Ireland, patriotic candidates found themselves overshadowed by the Nigel Farage show. Voters are about to learn a very hard lesson, that Farage is a shallow charlatan. He will shamelessly court media attention for the next five years, while doing nothing to build a party. It will be up to genuine patriots to reunite and build a real alternative to the politics of spivvery and betrayal.
