Politics will be a poorer place without him. The only person with a bit of colour, fire, charisma, and personality, and to tell it like it is, shooting from the hip as he did. Farage was a brilliant orator. I for one am disappointed to see him go. However, I admire his stance in resigning, due to the fact that his unfaltering claw and fang fight from day one, is now over and done with. Well done to him on that score.

Will UKIP survive without him ?  Well Carswell has ruled himself out, and certainly not with one of the Hamilton Twins at the helm.

Footnote.

Quote Nigel Farage: "I never wanted to be a career politician".

About the only one who doesn't.
