Doesn't matter if you think he's a cock, but he'll be remembered for a very long time. You've got to admire his tenacity.

Prospective candidates stand because they are expected to further te aims of the party not because they fact a new career! If they serve the party's aims best by standing down then it is patently obvious that that us what they have to do.

Doesn't it cost £100 to join his fan club?
No it costs £25, the same as rhe conservatives and quite a lot less than labour. But don't let the facts get in the way of you having a good froth!

He’s the man who tried to fool the UK.

_not a political genius. If he were, Brexit would have been achieved by now and Farage would have a seat in Parliament.

Tvstar Ah, but joining any other political party allows you to vote to choose their leader. And those leaders aren't shareholders of the party.

I really like him. I don't necessarily like what he stands for but as I person I think he is very likeable and a great orator.

I don't think he is a genius, but it doesn't take a genius to see he's come to represent a group of people who other politicians have not represented for a long time.

That's across class, and political parties.

He's a conman. I'm amazed that people can't see him for what he really is: an ex-City wide-boy who made his money gambling on the stock exchange.
