What do Britons thinks of Nigel Farage?

He and Cameron are to blame for this shitshow.
Cameron was fucking retarded and is the one who holds most of the blame, he shouldn't have allowed the brexit referendum nor the scottish one. And then walked out after fucking his country up the ass, leaving May in charge of the shitshow.
Farage made brexit win and stepped out of political life completely, even abandoned UKIP.
Even if he didn't have any voice in parliament he would have had a voice outside of it and could have outlined something and influenced the british people. You are partly right, but he should at least have stayed in UKIP.

>Cameron was fucking retarded and is the one who holds most of the blame, he shouldn't have allowed the brexit referendum
Why not? UKIP was gaining rapidly in popularity, largely at the Conservative Party's expense, and they were starting to become an existential threat. The public clearly wanted a Brexit referendum and I don't see how you can criticise him for giving it to them just because you think the choice the public made at the end of it was "wrong".

As for him fucking off after the result, it wouldn't really have been appropriate for someone who campaigned hard for Remain and repeatedly said Brexit was a disaster that would cause the sky to fall to then lead the country through the process of Brexit which he clearly didn't believe in. This is also why May should never have been allowed to become PM.

>even abandoned UKIP
UKIP's raison d'etre was over, and he still stuck around doing a radio show where he talks about politics (including Brexit). He didn't disappear off the face of the Earth just because he stopped being UKIP's leader (and he only left the UKIP altogether fairly recently when it started getting heavily tangled up in the fringe anti-Islam far right, which he saw as a big mistake because it limited its mainstream appeal). There's nothing really out there for him to campaign for or do right now since he has no power or authority.

>on the referendums
Brexit and Scotland referendums were irresponsible.
They did not only affect britain but the whole union, if scotland had been allowed to secede spain, france, italy and other countries would have had troubles with independence movements just like the scottish one.
Brexit referendum was irresponsible because it gave more legitimacy to the euroesceptic parties in places like poland, hungary or italy.
Secesionists and Euroesceptics represent an existential threat to the EU. They are populistic and promote division when the EU countries need to band together because the US became an unreliable ally with Trump, China is gaining influence very fast and Russia is doing everything it can to divide the EU.

>On Farage
Didn't know he still hosted a politics radio program, my bad. Still feel he should have remained at UKIP, even if he stepped down as chairman.

>On Cameron
He shouldn't called for referendums because of the reasons I gave before. Also, elections and parliament exist for a reason.

>if scotland had been allowed to secede spain, france, italy and other countries would have had troubles with independence movements just like the scottish one
>implying this would be bad
Nation states were a mistake.

Yes, it is bad.
Further integration in the EU is desired, not segregating into "ethnic" lines. I don't care how much Scotland or Catalonia would like to enter the EU if they were independent.

>spain, france, italy and other countries would have had troubles with independence movements just like the scottish one.
Then maybe they should be democratic and allow their people to hold referendums.

I'm honestly baffled that you've even made this argument. "No, you can't hold a democratic referendum because then people in other countries might want one too!". Yeah, welcome to freedom, my American friend.

>Brexit referendum was irresponsible because it gave more legitimacy to the euroesceptic parties in places like poland, hungary or italy.
??????

>Secesionists and Euroesceptics represent an existential threat to the EU.
So? Is the EU above criticism? Is it some God-ordained entity which must be upheld even if its subjects don't like it? Should the EU be above having to justify itself or face opposition?

>They are populistic and promote division when the EU countries need to band together because the US became an unreliable ally with Trump, China is gaining influence very fast and Russia is doing everything it can to divide the EU.
Oh fuck off. Not just voting to pass any and all legislation put to them by the EU and not automatically agreeing to all further integration without question "promoting division"?

The EU is an imperialist and expansionist entity which is just as much a threat to the sovereignty of European countries as Russia and China are, if not more so. And it will still cry out for American help if Russia and China ever come knocking because Yuropoors refuse to spend money on defence. The German army is woefully under-funded, under-equipped and unprepared. The rest of Europe besides France, which would be left to defend the entire union on its own, isn't even worth mentioning.

I can't even be bothered to argue with this nonsense. I'm going to bed.

Soon to be Brit here. Love him, top lad, love his banter. Good ol Nigel wants me and the Nigerians over them Polish Romani lot and for good reason, I’d say.

European countries are done for. They are obsolete and have been since the end of WWII. They should have disappeared already. They are too small to be competitive in the modern ultraglobalized world.
The only chance for Europe to keep being relevant is to create a unified state with truly unified policies and a constitution. If this doesn't happen Europe will become a backwater and will keep being dominated by the USA or China.
So yes, I advocate for the dissapearance of the european countries ASAP.
The army stuff will change once the EU army is created, which will likely be soon since you are leaving and you were the major player preventing further integration in the EU.

Referendums are irresponsible yes. Parliaments and elections exist to show the will of the people, there is no need for referendums, especially when people didn't know what they were voting on, because let's face it, neither the remainers nor the brexiteers knew how the union worked. Holding independence referendums that screw your associates is irresponsible, you are basically telling them "fuck you" in their faces. If the scots wanted to secede they should have voted it in parliament, which is why parliaments are for.
Eurosceptic parties are short-sighted, and they are financed by the russian secret services, they are against the core EU values and promote division.
Enjoy your delusions of having an Empire while you can because in 10 days you are getting screwed by all of the EU. Enjoy having shitty deals with countries wth economies much bigger than yours.

He's a phenomenal speaker full of charisma, bold and keen on his goals, and probably the ONLY Britton in the world of British politics to have ANY clue what the European Union is, what it wants, and how it works

Doesn't mean his goals are right, though he still managed to do more damage to the UK than we had hoped for in the boldest, wettest dreams

Basically this, nobody could have hurt the UK that much, that fast.

He has doomed Britain to being a vassal of the EU rather than being a leader of the top 3 large economies of the 21st century (USA, EU, China) so basically he is just your typical 'patroitc' boomer to takes pride in sucking American dick and really hating those continentals grrr!

Hate him

Keep in mind, 'patriotic' Brits love sucking American dick, they don't want Europe to be self sufficient even though we would be a main player in it because ummm, FUCKIN' TWO WORLD WARS ONE WORLD CUP DOO DAA DOO DAA

Very competent populist.

snake oil salesman

soy insult

>muh 3 largest economies

so? i would rather live in, say, new zealand than muttmerica just because 'duh economee iz biggur'

>soy soy soy soy soy soy
you're boring and he's a con artist

>con

Who did he con, exactly? Brexit is ferociously popular.

Really? Why not hold a second referendum then? If it's so popular you're sure to win overwhelmingly, yes?

BRITS ... OUT

But we're surrounded by the EU, we can either be Canada without the resources and be entirely reliant on the EU without having any say on how we're governed or be a part of it and have a say on one of the largest markets on the planet.

He's my most despised british ""politician"".
Just a conman who's only popular for his mannerisms and accent.

Keep in mind that the objective of the EU is to federalize, it has been for decades, Farage understood it.
If you don't want that, leave and get a trade deal line norway or switzerland. If you don't care giving up britain for Europe, stay.
But understand that the common market is just the first step for something bigger, there is no middle option.

Then we should join, again why stay outside a new global superpower on par with the US and China? We'd be Canada without vast amounts of natural resources to sell to the superpower we're surrounded by.

because it would be fucking pointless you nonce

>have a say

why do we need a say with what goes on in continental Europe? We should sort the fucking state of our own country out first.

Most of Britain doesn't see it that way, and to be honest, the UK was always a special case, you didn't join the monetary union and did not join schengen.
Funny how brexit has made the EU stronger, after it support for it went up like 20% in almost every country.
Also, t. Spain.

I dislike his posturing sometimes, but I guess every politicians does that. Accusing every politician in the EU Parlament (except himself of Course) of having never worked a day in their life was a stupid move.
Also He reposted the Tusk special place in hell bit for people that moved dor Brexit without a proper Plan bit as outrageus. It was dumb wording, I agree. But on the other hand its ok to compare the EU to the sovjet Union with people alive having suffered under communism and Call germans Nazis again by multiple british politicians.
A bit wierd that one.
To me He represents currently british victim mentality when their stupidity is the only Thing to blame.

Circular reasoning can't be argued against so I guess you are right if we go by your logic

>Brexit still going on
>but Brexiteers their jobs are already done and should have no blame in this shitshow
