#1 Farage is just a kind of lightning rod for focusing and then dispersing British nationalism and the wish to rule themselves.
He betrays his voters at every opportunity.

#2 I'm sure they'll find some excuse to put him in jail - just like French & Germans. Or, he might be assassinated by a Muslim emigrant.

#3

Now watch for the usual Liberal uprising and increased physical/domestic terroristic acts and protests.

#4 Farage has had a long political history.

He was a conservative, then endorsed the Greens then became a Eurosceptic. Since then he was head of the UKIP, then the Brexit party, now Reform.

His personality and demeanor is somewhat flamboyant for a Brit and he has offended a lot of his friends with odd behavior and policy changes.

Notwithstanding this, he isn't a complete stooge like Starmer.
