His central objective hasn't been to win as an MP though.

He has shifted the discourse in the way he has wanted it to go, having inherited a party led by Kilroy. Not only that but he has exerted enough pressure on the Conservatives to adopt his broad outlook.

I oppose the man and his politics. If I'm being objective though, I struggle to think of a more influential politician in the last 15 years.

I mean, this is just simply not true. He has stood 7 times.

Let's take it as a given you mean the UK. Quick and easy - former London mayor, Leave campaign leader and PM. Vastly vastly more influential than Farage.


Cameron, who was, er, PM and called the referendum

Osborne, who imposed grim, nation-changing austerity and is now editor of the capital's biggest free paper


Corbyn, who totally re-directed the Labour party, causing ALL OTHER parties to align either with or against him ideologically.

Sturgeon, who is about to turn Scotland into a one-party state.



But no no, non-achieveing Farage is "best boy"
 
Someone put 10p in Farage again.

Watch his "party" (or business as it basically is) batter home brexit as a sole agenda in a general election to dupe the knuckle draggers.

Once over, he'll scuttle off again having split the vote where no wins. Ideal situation is being a hung parliament where he's made king maker

It doesn't even have a manifesto.

It's famous because she is a black woman Joey. Politicians make arses of themselves everyday.

It was famous because she got her mathematics incorrectly to put a police person on the best - nothing to do with the colour of her skin - I have a dark tan and drags your anology of why she was unfortunately made the news ......
In fact she is famous for becoming the first female to be an MP of her ethnicity...
So please do not scrape that barrel ......

It beats the usual 'I have a black mate' response I suppose.

I wasn't calling you out Joey, but it's why it's famous. Johnson has made an arse of himself far worse and on numerous occasions yet he's been deemed fit to be PM by the members of the conservative party. She got figures wrong in an interview towards the end of an election and it's brought up again and again.

Boris has his titles as a bafoon, you are being over dramatic imo..
I think it will be a hung parliament again anyway....

Blame Corbyn......

No Joey, that’s just not right. Corbyn is not to blame for the right wing swing in British politics. That is what the Mail and the Sun voice at the will of the Conservatives.

Take a step back at look at what is happening. Follow the money and see where it is going because their motive is sure as hell not how to better the life of a young working class horticulturist from Liverpool trying to find his way.
