Hello and welcome to political thinking.

I've just been talking to a man, it seems as if almost every other politician wants to talk about.

Despite the fact he's not a party leader,

he's not even a member, a parliament,

or a candidate for the next election. He is Nigel Farage. If you listen to our

conversation you'll see why people talk about him. It is clear that he dreams of

the sort of takeover of the right of British politics that Donald

Trump has engineered in the United States.

Will it be with him as leader of reform or as some people predict maybe one day leader of the

Conservative Party?

Nigel Farage, welcome back to political thinking.

Thank you.

You are back where you like being, aren't you?

The center of attention.

Well, I've always been a bit of a show of,

there is some truth in that.

You know, it's a funny thing, but I think current affairs, politics and

current affairs in the UK today, has such a dearth of personalities that I find myself at the center of debates

whether I'm trying to or not I sort of get dragged into things.

That's interesting you what you think it is in part because there's just a lot of grey men and women.

Absolutely, yeah. I mean look, you know, I'm quite prepared to stand up and say things. I say things at times that you could see as being populist, you know, that I'm saying what a lot of people are saying and thinking.
