Nige the man of the people becomes a peer which considering all the years he has spent spouting off about corruption and unelected bureaucrats in the EU means that now he gets to have a say over our lives by becoming an unelected peer in the House of Lords! Oh the deep fucking irony  |

From the Daily Mirror:
Asked by the Mirror what he had been promised in return for ditching his plan to run 600 candidates, he said: “Nothing, and I have asked for nothing. I don't want anything.”
Asked if he was offered a peerage, he said: “I was offered one last Friday.
“Ridiculous – the thought they can buy me, a high-paid job; but I'm not interested, I don't want to know.”
Infer from that what you will.
When (or if) 73 Parliamentarians find themselves surplus to requirements on February 1, I've no doubt quite a few will end up sitting in the Lords.

He's probably not going to get enough of what he wants from it, ie continuous publicity, attention and enough money and his self-perceived importance. Certainly not deserving of such a post. He could never get elected to the House of Commons even, so the Lords should be off limits. He should sink into obscurity as another privileged, career politician who represents himself and a few people only. |

Political leanings aside, Farage must be the the most successful political of the generation.
He's taken an unfancied idea from the fringes and made it mainstream policy within a couple of decades.
He outdoes Alex Salmond, because he succeeded in persuading a majority of his idea.
