I’ve been convinced since the referendum to leave the EU that he genuinely didn’t expect it to happen and was gutted that it did. That was basically his career plan, to rant about how we need to leave the EU forever and it just went up in smoke because of what a dumb country we are
People like that are in it for the attention, so anything that gives them more attention is good. I bet he never spends a second on thinking ahead, it’s all seat of the pants spontaneous blurting out whatever thought happens to pass through his addled brain. The disgusting part is how successful he is with that
The UK did not join the Euro, one of Farages’ massive talking points and the logo of the fucking UKIP, much harsher immigration rules, actual fucking Brexit. All without being voted into fucking anything.
Oh for sure, and I am continuously frustrated by the fucking hard-on the media have for him and his bullshit. But I still think he preferred that position where he could continue perpetually to whine about the EU to the one where we left and he was suddenly adrift for a while. Then luckily Reform appeared and he could do that instead of being the only thing on GB News that anyone at all was bothering to watch. I doubt he particularly wants to be prime minister now, he’d prefer to be the boogeyman of British politics as head of Reform but Labour are doing their best to get him into the job in 29
The Tories are such a shambles anyway after the last 15 years that I highly doubt most people even pay attention to them. The Tories are contributing to it but only by making themselves increasingly irrelevant and unelectable as they stumble around cluelessly
Farage, like Boris, has the air of a dog that caught the car and now has no idea what to do with it.

“Why can’t i just stop winning!” - Farage probably

The outcome of a cultural system in which loudness and conviction are generally more rewarded than actual intelligence and expertise.
He has basically dictated whatever fucking policy he wanted since 199X without even getting into power.
