    My congratulations go to the reform party and Nigel Farage, probable prime minister like 10 years from now.

      No he won’t. They’ve got four seats, one of which doesn’t really count because his support is just a holdover from him being a conservative, that’s not exactly the makings of a political dynasty.

      Also can Nigel Farage even be arsed?

          I think the main difference is that Johnson has always had aspirations of being bigger and greater. He will destroy anything if it means the chance to grab more power.

          Farage is more like Sinn Fein, just a complete blocker to any progress for anyone else.

          Johnson was in one of the main two parties and a popular figure (for some reason).

          Farage is neither of these.
