Nigel Farage might have been a thorn in the Conservatives side for many years now, but given the trajectory of the party it's not impossible to imagine Farage at the helm... So let's unpack why Nigel Farage could actually become the next Tory leader

UK´s politics is trying real hard to top the US in terms of second hand embarrassment.
@@kevinh4869 The guy doesn't care about politics but just his views. As much as I disagree with Farage policies, he has changed UK history more than most prime ministers without ever being elected. No one did anything remotely close. Really adds a new dimension that you can be an impactful politician without necessarily being elected
We’re not far off Tories saying all elections they lose are ‘rigged’ that will be next.
Really? Lemme remind you 2 other names: George W Bush and Bill Clinton
Between that MP that was watching porn in Parliament, partygate, and having a new PM every few months, you guys are pretty much on par with us in the USA for political buffoonery.
Fun fact: the reason why Farage was a MEP but never an MP is simply because the EU mandates a more democratic system for its Parliament than the UK.
Won't work. He didn't attend Eton / Oxford 🤪
He went to Dulwich. So quite posh really. Then became a city spiv until he got sacked for dishonesty
Alumni includes Bob Monkhouse and "I'll have a P please" Bob Holness and Tice?
@@christianround2774A Tory material indeed
Ah yes, the posh school for naughty Tory boys only.
He went to the same school that Uber socialist and Corbyn lover Shami Chacrovarty sent her son to. She’s as repulsive as Nigel is.

You’re already brain dead (or at least brainwashed) if you want more traitors in number 10 rather than a man who loves the UK!
@@BishopBlougram so true
He's a straight talking guy.
It's not entirely correct to say he didn't hold an office of power. He was a prominent leader in the UK contingent at the EU, making many speeches and voting on many issues over the years. If one argues that the European Parliament is a body of political substance, then one has to concede that being an MEP is an office of some substance in line with that, in some way equivalent to an MP.
He did bugger all as an MEP, he couldn’t even be bothered to turn up most of the time.
MEPs have little to no power.
@@ietomos7634 He had the power to negotiate on behalf of the UK fishing industry, but he only turned up to one of 42 EU fisheries committee meetings held during his time in office. Then he had the cheek to say UK fishermen were being screwed over… they were being, but by him!
@@ffotograffydd No he didn't! He was an MEP. They have as much power a hearing aid battery. They can discuss loads, change nothing. Unless the higher ups agree. The EU has 1 fisheries policy and they change it for no 1 single member state. UK fishermen were paid by the EUs predecessor to scrap their own boats so the French and Spanish could plunder UK waters.
@@ietomos7634 Mate, you just look silly claiming he wasn’t on the fisheries committee, its a matter of record, as is his incredibly poor attendance. It was his job to speak on behalf of UK fishermen and he didn’t!

If they weren't in parliament they'd be under investigation by the Organised Crime Unit of the police, but they're not even bloody organised enough to qualify. Farage as next leader? Why not? We've had Liz Truss already so the bar has already been set so low it's buried in the ground.
Center-left! Absolutely nothing conservative about them. The best thing that could happen is for them to lose the next election and for a new right wing party to form
@@fredjones234 The Tories are as near to being centre left as Bozo is to being honest after their takeover by the ERG and UKIP.
Not giving enough to the rich anymore?
The Conservative party after the next election may only have 100 - 120 MPs and it depends whether the moderates or the headbangers are those on the dole. The elected leader is first chosen by the parliamentary party and only the top two contestants are offered for the membership to choose a leader. There may be a lot of "Portillo" moments on election night, it just depends on how many of the headbangers survive.
In layman’s terms? You think farage will get it or not?
Of the two candidates who make it selection by the membership the furthest right candidate will win because the membership is to the right of the parliamentary party. There are somewhat less than 200k Conservative party members who decide the complexion of the prime minister (and the fate of the nation if they ever win a general election again). @@unrestdigest

It does make sense, there is no clear leadership potential in the Conservative Party.

During Donald Trumps second election Rally, Nigel Farage stood shoulder to shoulder with him on the platform, joining in with the cheering crowd. "You get what you wish for"
Well as an American I wished for Trump and got 4 years of economic beauty. Now the last 3 years have the been the toughest of our lives economically speaking.

TLDR's grasp of English is poor. They even manage to put errors in their captions: eg "Affects" when they mean "Effects". These things matter if they want to be taken seriously.
@petersellars You should bear in mind that most captions on RUclips are auto-generated or community generated. It's quite clear that TLDR's "grasp of English" is nowhere near poor.
I dunno i’d say their sound editing is still noticeably inconsistent. lots of repeated lines/errors left in
Would Farage accept the role of Prime Minister, or does he prefer to be one of the most successful political hecklers ?
So many people are turning against Brexit that this would ensure the Tories remain out of government for years to come. Bring it on.
Who are these "So Many People" ? I've never met any.
Lol what utter tosh
So many sad losers who are stuck in nearly decade old politics are still grinding their axe, bring it on losers.
Then go outside@@malcolmhouston7932
Literally not met anyone under 50 who still thinks brexit was a good idea or is going well
I’m not sure he’d want the accountability ( however much that may be ) that comes with it.
Tories have accountability?
The stars are aligning on this one. Anyone who saw him signing and dancing at the Tory conference last month could see this was a guy who sees the Conservative Party as his true home. The Tory members want him back (according to a recent poll) and he said he'd go back if it went back to being "conservative" again. Combine all this to the Tories are losing votes to Reform (Tories would have retained both Mid-Bedforshire and Tamworth with the Reform share of the vote) and you can see why bringing back Farage is such a realistic prospect.
I don't know if I see it becoming as conservative as he wants it, but he could turn it that wa if he joined.
He might be the first Tory leader to introduce proportional representation should that happen
Not in a million years.
Farage only supports electoral reform when it benefits him.
People seem to lose enthusiasm for PR when they get into government under FPTP.
@@Calum_S Unfortunately true
As someone from New Zealand don't move to proportional representation. It really handicaps governing and sees nothing get done
PR would be the only way for the Conservative to survive with Farage as leader...
No because Farage isn't a politician. A protester/campaigner certainly, though some might say just a heckler. Just doesn't have the stamina to do the hard work in the background, hence the continous quitting when the 'work is done'.
Much like Boris Johnson really.
Excellent, so like Johnson, he won't become PM. Great, really reassuring. Thanks.
Nice. Someone else spotted the elephant in the room. He needs to be a tory MP before any of this can happen. TDLR have lost the plot, clickbait/ ad revenue vids all the way here now!

After the last Seasons of "The UK" this upcoming storyline feels even more unbelievanble. The writers really need to get their ship in order.
Boris' success was magnified due the disarray of the Labour party at that time.
Pinocchio Johnsons success was down to one thing....Get Brexit Done. And look what the oven ready lying clown delivered...chaos .
Its always worth noting that in terms of votes Boris didn't really do any better in 2019 than Theresa May did in 2017 (42% in 2017 vs 43% in 2019). The difference is that the Labour vote collapsed (40% in 2017 vs 32% in 2019), most of those voters that left didn't go to Boris they went to the Lib Dems and the Green Party, its just due to first past the post, the Tories benefited from the centre-left being as bitterly divided as it was.
OH the Labours 50 years out of date dilusions you mean.
@@calumbishop7082 Yes, but that ignores that the Tories picked up a significant number of seats in what was previously regarded as The Red Wall. Brexit crossed traditional party loyalties and boundaries and very much muddied the waters, and even though Brexit has been "done", it still an issue. You can expect the Tories to try to keep some of the brexit votes by frightening the electorate into believing that Starmer will "undo" brexit.
@@tonyb9735yes, but they picked up seats, not votes, the idea that the red wall turned tory is a lie, caused by our misrepresentative voting system

No you won't.
Good, please don't go to a Western country.
You will absolutely do no such thing. You will live and die here.
Farage is a grifter. I think he's self aware enough to know his ideas can't work and won't get him into power. But he never will be in power, so he can always say he'd have done it better, safe in the knowledge no one can ever prove him wrong. If he ever got near the reigns of power he'd have to actually push for his policies in government, which would then fail and the grift would be over. He can make far more money and soothe his narcissism far better from the outside. I think he's just saying it for the bit, to throw up a media storm and drum up more popularity. I might be wrong, but I think he's smart enough to never actually try to be PM or Tory leader
People never know the good things they have.
Agree, but you also just described Trump.
What word is defined as a Bundle of sticks? Both apply here.
He’s on the latest series of IACGMOOH so it’s likely to just be PR nonsense in support of that. He’s a good self publicist, I’ll give him that
It makes full sense. The Tories need to hit rock bottom and get their flirtation with the far right out of their system before they can be resurrected. Farage could be the nail in the coffin for this populist Conservative party.
We thought Johnson was rock bottom
Or at least finally highlights what the Conservatives now are: New Ukip
It's laughable to pretend the party responsible for bringing in millions of people, permanently changing the cultural landscape of Britain, printing immense quantities of money and spiking corporation tax is "conservative". The people responsible for the disastrous "equality act" and "modern slavery act" are not right-wing, let alone far-right.
You have no borders, London is 36% British, your schools punish students for freedom of speech and your country has been a laughing stock since Blair. You need something other than the soft left Tories and the hard left Labour party. Probably too late though, you've handed over your country gleefully to people who celebrate terrorism and leech off your welfare and mass grape your young girls while the Police turn a blind eye. You can't go back to being the green Island the world looked upto 20 years ago. No amount of Farage could save Britain from the mess Blairs Britain has seeded.
Please stay in your country so you don't pollute what remains of the West with your failure as a nation.
@@davzinzan Johnson was a new low, sure, but we haven't hit rock bottom yet. That would involve either Braverman or Patel being PM and rocketing the party straight into fascism.

Perhaps the Tories should elect the Man in the Dolphn Suit or Count Bin Face as leader.
Goodness gracious, you people are like a broken record with this dolphin business. Change the tune it’s getting rather old and boring now.
I’d also like to point out whether the love or loath Farage he had achieved more than most including the guy who decided to dress as a dolphin.

None of this should come as a surprise it was farages plan in 2019 when ukip withdrew from the GE
Their members were told to go join the Tory party which they did in their thousands, thus creating the ukkipertory party.

So farages plan to return and lead them is no surprise to me.

As a conservative, I’m guessing you vote leave for Brexit, what do you think about it now?
Nigel Farage being elected by the Tories as party leader would be peak Tory. At least they'll finally be openly lead by the true face of the typical Tory voter.
This is hilarious. Talk about from the frying pan to the fire!
This would be great! I hope it happens
Enoch Powell spoke the truth didn’t he ,he got kicked out of Parliament, his words have rang true have come back to haunt the UK.
Enoch was right!
I never thought that this would make sense, but after Sunak's moves yesterday, I can see the sense of it. It could actually happen as Sunak has killed the party by opening up a huge split at a time when they have ditched all their core values and electoral promises.
Swapping out one divisive leader for another. It's desperate times for the Conservative party.
That’s really helped me out as I will not be voting Tory at next general election, nor would I vote for any party containing Farage.
I don’t really see why this video specifically. It’s exploration of whether or not farage could become Tory. This video didn’t address anything that would shake ones political faith
Great idea!
Just the fact that this is even being spoken of shows how badly broken our political system is. Forget about if it actually ever happens. Just think we are discussing a man who has never been elected a MP in his lengthy political career, becoming prime minister!!! Run the country is a bit more important than running a pressure group
He actually has extensive experience in both business & politics - r.e. the latter he was an MEP for over twenty years.
New Zealand has just elected a PM who only entered politics in 2020. He is the ex-CEO of Air New Zealand. Where somebody has experience, it should always be recognised. These people have something to offer, whether or not you agree with their politics.
We’d all be better off if people with more experience in life entered politics.
I don't like him in the slightest but try to stay in touch with the truth. He HAS been elected, as a member of Parliament, just not the Westminster Parliament, but he represented English voters in a parliament that passed laws that were destined to be ratified and then applied to those voters.
Yes, because all those career MPs have done such a good job previously. Sunak, Truss, Johnson, May. All their vast experience in parliament made them so amazing at the job...
I don't think Farage would be great at the job, but at the very least I think he believes in something, which is more than I can say for the last half a decade of prime ministers that were just in it for a job
Farage is a grifter who is too smart to put himself into a position of power. Right now he can claim Brexit is only going badly because he's not in charge. He couldn't do this as Tory leader (he's also completely unelectable)
He Is not unelectable , he almost won in 2015 here in thanet. He came a close second. Had there been no tory candidate, or if he had been the tory candidate he would have won the seat easily. Come to that if they had not lost one of the ballot boxes , on the way to the counting centre he may well have won.
@patdbean Yeah, he almost didn't lose in a Tory heartland seat. He is still absolutely repulsive to the average voter and has horrible personal approval ratings. He can lead a fringe pressure group of extremists but he would fail as leader of a major party.
@@leikfroakies Thanet south is not really a Tory heart land seat. It was labour from 97 to 2005. And you need to get rid of this idea that all ukip voters were EX-tories. All the poling said that they took as many votes from labour and as many again from the ranks of the non-voter.
The thing is, he's so delusional, he's never admitted Brexit's been a mistake in the first place....
@patdbean 2005 may have been a swing to the Tories but they still had fewer seats than Labour in 2019 so I feel comfortable labelling those seats Tory heartland seats (barring ones that have since gone Labour due to demographic changes)

We had a referendum on that the same as Brexit. Just shows why the British people should not be allowed to have referendums, because we f' it up every time with people voting for things they don't understand

Will Big Chungus become the next UK Prime Minister?
This is incredibly unlikely. A lot of hypotheticals. The first problem is, does he actually want to join? If yes okay, getting a membership is easy but then the problem is he has to actually apply to become a candidate for the party. Then its dependent if the party wants him to be a candidate, then he has to apply for seats then has to get one he can win. Then he needs enough support within parliament to run for leader. Then he can only get members' vote if he beats all the other contenders. This man may have made his career in defying the odds but i don't think he could do it with this
Rigged system
Maybe the next Tory leader, but too many people in the UK regret Brexit now to vote him in. Whilst Labour are in power, he's going to lead the Tories to defeat after defeat, until he finally resigns.
Is it April 1st ?
Well if TLDR predicts it then it’s not going to happen, so that’s comforting.
Nigel Farage would be a very good leader of the Conservative Party I don't know why they didn't do it when we voted to come out of the EU or at least made him a minister....

If the Tories are going to be out of power for at least two terms then Farage as leader would guarantee it, for that matter Braverman would also ensure this outcome.
either this or like Brexit it will be a landslide, you have to consider while labor might win a large majority, if they can't deliver anything in 2024-2029 they will have the exact same issues that the Tories had. Addtionally the poll data shows that labour isn't getting that many more votes, its simply tories deciding to abstain from voting as aprotest or voting reform. This isnt labour being more popular its just the usual 2 party state "the least worse option" if we had a total of 17 years of nothing happening, you will get a 2016 like trump election in 2029.

Brexit is not over, and won't be until we are back in the EU
Brexit will be complete when UK is no longer part of Europe. This involves detaching GB from the continental platform and towing it to the middle of the Pacific.
We may not be a member anytime soon, but I think at some stage, we will have a much closer relationship with the EU. EFTA/EEA membership is more likely than regained EU membership.
@@rayc9539 EFTA is very unlikely, as England is much larger than any EFTA member - not a good match for them. An independent Scotland would be a more likely candidate.
The EU is very dissatisfied with its patchwork deal with Switzerland and won’t replicate it - even less so with a country that tried to renegotiate the withdrawal agreement before the ink was dry.
An EFTA-like, take-it-or-leave-it deal might be acceptable to the EU, assuming no member state exercises its veto; but I strongly doubt UK would ever consider becoming officially a EU vassal.
This leaves the long way out: UK aligning unilaterally to EU regulations (but only because it wants to, not because it must 😉), implementing the huge constitutional reforms required to meet the Copenhagen Criteria, achieving a stable supermajority in favor of EU membership, and eventually applying to join again. I expect this will require several decades of self inflicted pain for Little Brexitannia.
@paologat Oh, I see. I mean, although there has been growing interest in renewed EU membership by the public, it is still a long way off the UK being a full member again.
There have been talks of the UK being a rule taker, rather than a rule maker, if it were to have a closer relationship with the EU (some sort of associate membership that grants access to the single market?)
In any event, I still believe it was ridiculous for us to have used a simple majority vote to enact such a major constitutional change with so much uncertainty. Impordsntly, the vote was advisory! 51.9% isn't exactly an overwhelming majority... I learnt that some leave voters voted leave because they would rather the UK be an EFTA/EEA member, in turn paying less to the EU budget, but still having access to the single market.
On the topic of EEA membership , it was offered to Theresa May during the negotiations. She refused on the grounds "it wouldn't be in the will of the British people". The British people were never asked anything about that proposal. She is just a corrupt like her counterparts.
And now, here we are - left with a hard brexit and economic damage. They could have revoked article 50 at any point up until January 31st, 2020.
@@rayc9539 if it can be of any consolation, before UK can apply to join the EU again, it will have to adopt a modern constitution requiring some form of qualified majority to be amended.
And that’s why we hope the UK never rejoins the EU.
The EU has far bigger problems… Like some of the “members” who are in already
He should start his own party he would be wasted in the conservatives they dont deserve him
Now that would make the boring Brexit saga interesting again for us in the EU 🇪🇺

The EU as is currently constituted is probably doomed. Just too many snouts in the trough.

This is waaaay too speculative to deserve coverage at this stage. C’mon TLDR, stick with responsible journalism not click-bait. (You’ve been doing so well recently❤)
Ahhh a gloating member of the left in the open.
Alot of people on the left and right in media speculate this, this ain't a small chance, it is extreamly likely with whats going to happen after the next general election
That's the thing nightmares are made of.
Best video yet
There's also another scenario. Farage takes a lot of inspiration from the Canadian Reform Party (hence the name Reform UK).
They were a radical right challenger to the old Conservative Party.
The Reform Party ended up being the larger party and the two parties ended up merging together.
Although highly unlikely, it was under first past the post - you can imagine a scenario where the right wing of the Conservative Party defects or does a deal with Reform UK.
Would love to see a video on this 👍🏻 Keep up the great work
I would love to see him in power and punish the banks for what they did.
Let’s hope
When's the last time Nigel Farage was treated to a nice refreshing milkshake?
How does he expect to win an election as Tory leader exactly? Brexit is getting increasingly hated as time goes on
Oh sweet summer child...
This is the best part though! I'd love to see the UK switch to a 2 party system of Labour vs. Lib Dems, and I can seriously see it happening if Braverman or Farage take power.
If brexit was really hated the rejoin eu march would have had a better turnout than a pathetic 4000 😂
I was lied too about Brexit... Can not believe I fell for it and was brainwashed by the Tory rightwing media voters.

Heading to his next gig… a realty show in Australia😂
I can't imagine it to be honest. Unlikely he'll get the support from the members of the party
Did you not see him at the party conference? He was the most popular person there
I can imagine it, definitely.
A dystopian future would just turn into a reality for the UK if this ever happens…
Nice opinion, where's the evidence?

The best on your way to get to the throne ❤ and don't dare to let people down
I cannot see the Tory Party accepting Farage as leader. Even in the (plausible) event of a devastating Tory defeat at the next election and (say) Suella Braverman taking over, he'd have to not just get elected as a Tory (or elected as a UKIP/Reform/whatever MP and then defect to the Tories) but the party would have to depose a leader who he was politically close to. And even if he did manage that, he'd find himself with a fractious party where the moderates MPs (the sort that elected Cameron/May/Sunak and deposed Liz Truss) were rebelling against his leadership. Given the years between 1997 and 2010 where the Conservatives were lost in opposition under leaders from the right of the party (Iain Duncan Smith/Michael Howard) until they went for the more centrist David Cameron who achieved a Conservative majority, it seems implausible that he could actually win a majority (and there is no plausible coalition partner in the event of even being largest party).
Thank you - that's the first well-thought-out and mostly unbiased assessment of Farage's chances, that I have seen here. I'm surprised that the moderate's may still be a force of power in the party though? Since Farrage was so popular with many of the Tory MP's, I would have assumed that Cameron's cadre was all but wiped out, by now.
Oh Fartridge will definitely rejoin the Tories if Leaky Sue becomes leader of the party.
suella braverman husband is jewish and she has close family who serve in the idl go check
@@fedup664 Why did you bring this up, exactly? Is Farrage a known anti-semite or something?

It’s IDF… anyway the point is that having Jewish husband or wife doesn’t mean anything. The U.K. have had numerous politicians who were Jewish, or of Jewish heritage. Jews have been a part of the British community for centuries. Integrated, assimilated and contributed to the U.K. massively, just like they did in Germany, Austria, Italy, France and the Netherlands. No hidden agenda. We extend help and support to those who need it but they don’t have any ill intentions towards us. The idf is not a threat to the U.K..
Hamas, Hezbollah and the ayatollahs in Iran are a danger to the U.K. and its people
How would going further right-wing help the UK? Brexit was already done and his policies were shown to destroy the UK. How would he be an effective leader?
Lol where do you people get this nonsense?
Him: "They think im joking, i'm serious."
Him later: "Seriously in jest!"
