Full Description
Nigel Farage is the great disruptor of British politics.
Since co-founding UKIP in 1993, he has challenged the status quo in areas
including the UK's membership of the European Union, mass immigration and net
zero. He is the only person in the modern era to steer two different political
parties to victory in successive national elections, topping the poll in the
European elections in 2014 with UKIP and in 2019 with the Brexit Party. Now he
is attempting to crown that achievement as the leader of Reform UK by sweeping
to power at the next general election and becoming Prime Minister.
Farage is considered an outsider with a devil-may-care
attitude; a populist equally at home on I'm A Celebrity... and
GB News as he is discussing the European Convention on Human Rights. So why is
this anti-Establishment figure being spoken of as a future occupant of 10
Downing Street? Can he turn a political start-up into an election-winning
machine that appeals to both the left and the right? And could he bring unity
to Britain?
In this meticulously researched and highly entertaining
book, Michael Ashcroft charts Farage's extraordinary life before examining
Reform UK's advance, its internal struggles, its impact on British politics and
its prospects for electoral success.
With unparalleled access to those who know him best, The
Farage Factor: Reform UK and the remaking of British politics will
help voters judge just how credible is Farage's aim of forming the next
government.
