      but doesn’t he need to get elected to something every so often? or is he just finger pointed to be the leader of a UK political party?

      PS: pardon my ignorance of UK politics

        He only needs to be agreed to be leader of his party to continue, then rule it with an iron fist and remove any rival who gets too popular, such as the even nuttier Rupert Lowe.

        Last election, Farage did actually find a town foolish enough to elect him (Clacton, where he rarely goes), but it’s not required (the current Green England&Wales leader isn’t an MP) and Farage is a zombie leader who has kept on and on and on through many election defeats and parties falling apart.
