He's only a "good" politician because he can convince people he cares. He doesn't. I would not describe Farage as a good politician. However I would describe him as a very good "snake oil salesman" and maybe some people would use the word "campaigner" instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the sense of "good politician" meaning "someone who can win votes", that's exactly what I mean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In FPTP elections, his record is won 1. lost 7. That suggests that he is a bad politician. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Diamond For Me Posted Monday at 20:57 Share Posted Monday at 20:57 (edited) He's a lot like Galloway in that he clearly enjoys campaigning for office much more than he enjoys doing the job he gets elected to. In Farage's case, he famously attended only one out of 42 meetings on the EU fisheries committee when he was an MEP, which is dwarfed by the number of times he was on Question Time and similar shows arguing that the EU was giving a bad deal to British fishermen. Maybe it would have been a better deal if he'd bothered his arse to do his f**king job...

MONKMAN Posted Tuesday at 15:58 Share Posted Tuesday at 15:58 30p Lee posts photo of a severely beaten man, claiming it's an ex army veteran in his constituency who was beaten up by 2 illegal immigrants. Photo was in fact proven to be that of a UFC fighter, taken in 2015 after a fight. 30p Lee doubles down, saying it's definitely a constituent and could provide his details but doesn't want to. 30p Lee is thick racist f**kwit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's disastrous and terrible, but I think it's fair to describe Farage as the most consequential British politician this century. Salmond is in the top handful too, but he trails well behind Farage in terms of impact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
