I think you’re right. I would never vote for him, but he is a formidable political machine. A smart man, who usually finds himself leading a group of complete morons.
Someone like that is usually quite dangerous, but I don’t think he has a real killer instinct. He’s a puppy dog. I don’t fear him in the slightest. I fear people like Thatcher and Blair who have been in power, who have had the chance to use it for good, but have instead fallen very deeply into the shadow.
In addition - I don’t actually think Farage will win his seat.
