Hi:
I'm an American and I just recently saw a video of a British politician named Nigel Farage who was busy heaping scorn on the EU president. Is he a popular person in the UK? I think, from what I saw of him, he would be popular over here.
What's the story with Nigel Farage?
What's the story with Nigel Farage?

He is mostly considered a laughing stock.

He is a cunt. A fringe figure in the UK.

So I guess he WOULD be popular over here.

Idk.... probably even the Christian right would think he was a ridiculous caricature.Jay G wrote:Pappa wrote:He is mostly considered a laughing stock.

It was not deliberate. I was trying to click on a Pat Condell video and the screen "jumped" and it hit the video of Farage.Clinton Huxley wrote:Why were you watching a vid of the old fool?

It is a pretty funny video. It appeared on the news here. I'm surprised the EU president didn't say, "Who the fuck are you?".Jay G wrote:It was not deliberate.

UKIP right wing nationalistic political party (not racial but its pretty much white only), occassionaly picks up votes in unimportant elections.
Basically Nigel Farage wants to destroy the EU from within by being elected to a £150k job and being a twat.
HIs party could be signficant in the future not because he will ever win elections but he can split the right wing vote. Sort of like the Tea party minus the obvious insanity officially splitting away from the Republican party and standing against them.
His other major problem his party is only really known for getting out of the EU which isnt really much of a platform through allegidly there are other policies.
The party is also known for lots of internal bickering and infighting and would probably collapse without him.
While a bit of loon if Seth was British its who he would probably vote for him if not too busy starting a revolution

Of course, UKIP is full of head-the-balls but their core policy, complete withdrawal from the EU, is spot on.

His 2010 Election Campaign never really took off.
