The media promotes him, and the Tories have spent their entire time telling the public that farage is right, but too extreme so they'll be farage-light. I.e. like farage but not doing the job.
Now Keir Starmer has said basically the same with his speech.
The people will only break from Farage if (a) Labour gets their act together, turns away from Thatcher's political system of deregulation, tax breaks for the rich and making the working class pay for it, or (b) Farage first wins power and the breaks the country because his policies are then tested.
And even more amazing: he (and the far right) are constantly wrong. On everything.
I can’t think of one thing Farage has actually been correct about. And Reform’s policies are nonsense.
Yet his every utterance is reporting as though it’s most earth shattering news.
The parallels with Trumpism are glaring.
Media kept amplifying him during the Biden administration like he was still in charge.
I live in the US and I am worried about Farage. And he's been around ages

So once fringe or embarrassing opinions are becoming policies.
