Absolutely this. Like the outcome or not, Farage has been incredibly influential. It's amazing that some people can't understand this simple fact (objective too, not subjective). They seem to cling to the fantastic belief that because they hate him, he cannot possibly have been influential!
OK, Farage didn't influence anything, didn't have anything to do with making the referendum and Brexit come about. You know best (although that is your subjective view). Funny how all remainers curse his name, though..............
'Racist chancer. may be your very subjective view. The question is, though, has Farage been influential or not? As we almost certainly wouldn't have even had a referendum, let alone vote to leave the EU, without him, that makes him pretty influential. Now [B[that[/B] is objective. Stuff...
What has happened? You mean Farage, despite not being elected to Parliament, becoming the most influential British politician of the 21st. century - because, whether you like what he has achieved or not, that is exactly what he has become.
