Thanks for so many of the interesting comments on this. Consensus seems to be: clickbait politics; Farage gains attention in an attention-poor world; mainstream media follow social media to try to seem “relevant.” I think I’d add that Farage is a very good communicator whereas others aren’t.
I’ve often wondered why Nigel Farage, who as godfather of the Brexit fiasco engineered the biggest British foreign policy disaster since Suez is continually offered so much space in some newspapers and broadcast media. Serious question. Thoughts welcome.
