  • He's the third most significant post-war politician after Thatcher and Blair

    Who, yesterday's man Farage? I'd put him in the same bracket as one hit wonder Galloway but even George managed to get elected to Westminster.

    I'd genuinely forgotten he existed until 4 weeks ago.

  • Who, yesterday's man Farage? I'd put him in the same bracket as one hit wonder Galloway

    Sure.

    Galloway
    ✅ MP
    ✅ Once had a good sesh in the US senate
    ✅ Pretended to be a cat

    Farage
    ✅ MEP
    ✅ Vote on EU membership
    ✅ Hard Brexit
    ✅ Fractured Conservative Party
    ✅ Pulled Conservative Party to the right
    ✅ Consistently able to identify issues which gain public traction
    ✅ Broadcaster

    Sadly he is most definitely one of the most important politicans of the last 50yrs.

  • Consistently able to identify issues which gain public traction

    Beyond stoking fear of immigration impacts, what else?

  • You have scraped the barrel with several of those but yeah, if he's important to you then cool. Given he wasn't single handedly responsible for Brexit, I am struggling to think of all ways he's impacted my life as much as actual Westminster elected politicians.
