European elections were coming up and his party was favored to win them, which it did. He'll now recede from the news and things will return to Scotland, Cameron's shittishness, the next elections, etc.

Dolash posted:I don't live in Britain so maybe I'm missing something, but there seems to be a strange fascination with UKIP among cartoonists of all stripes. Honestly, looking at their electoral gains they don't sound all that impressive, I mean maybe they can replace the Liberal Democrats as the party that comes in third but the way they're being portrayed in these cartoons it's like Nigel Farage is about to throw the Beerhall Putsch or something. The main thing I've noticed is that UKIP are at the moment a protest "gently caress the two-party system" vote for people who don't know poo poo about politics. Literally all they know about UKIP is they're the shiny new thing and they're moving up in the world. I tend to avoid political stuff on Facebook but one of my friends reposted a ton of UKIP stuff and not only does he not have enough critical thinking skill to see their bitter, unpleasant racism, I doubt he actually understands what they're even for, beyond "They're going to fix Europe, I guess". So people are just blindly jumping on the bandwagon, a bit like the Liberal Democrats in the last election (which turned out pretty well, we can all agree) except with a completely feckless one-note group of hateful pricks instead of an actual political party with policies and MPs and so on. The same thing happened with Nick Clegg, for ages he'd been mocked for being a political nobody, then when he did well in one debate the papers freaked out and practically declared him next Prime Minister. Hopefully Farage's next big move is to get back in his lovely little prop plane and gently caress off over the horizon.

Similar thing in Australia with people voting for the Crazy Fat Billionaire Party (PUP). It's new, it's different and they have no idea.

BoB's just given Farage a lot of head, that's all I like how the tories losing 7 seats means a cigarette in Cameron's (full) pint, but Labour gaining 7 and finishing with a higher total gets Ed a half.
