I can't imagine what it must be like to have parties like UKIP just being in existence, I presume it's just infuriating.
It used to be quite amusing to have UKIP around. And then the financial crash happened and people started to actually listen to them. Since then it has veered between being amusing to absolutely terrifying.
UKIP are in an odd position, they were almost consigned to the dustbin of history, but are having a little bit of a resurgence now that the Leavers have moved from “Norway models” to “NO DEAL!”. Either the UK crashes out with no deal, or UKIP are going to be back as a force and they will probably be more extreme than they were before.
I do wonder what would have happened if Farage had been killed in that plane crash. He was charismatic in a way that previous (and subsequent) UKIP leaders just couldn’t manage. I imagine that crash was where the timelines split, forcing us into the worst timeline.
