As well as for the other major UK parties and the EU itself.
Here is Farage being interviewed by two simpletons on Finnish TV, clueless clowns who know nothing more than to parrot the Finnish political consensus on the EU. Really pathetic, seeing that they’ll never be able to interview this man again, nor should they have the opportunity ever again.

The Great British Public begged to differ. They declared Farage the winner by more than 20 percentage points.

The UKIP leader had spoken over the heads of the national media and had successfully connected with a comprehensive majority of ordinary viewers and listeners.
By the end of the second debate on Wednesday night there was no such hesitation by media pundits. Farage had triumphed.
