Political positions of Nigel Farage

Nigel Farage is a British politician and broadcaster who has been Member of Parliament (MP) for Clacton and the Leader of Reform UK since 2024, having previously been its leader from 2019 to 2021 when it was called the Brexit Party. He also was the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) from 2006 to 2009, and 2010 to 2016. Farage served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for South East England from 1999 until the UK's withdrawal from the European Union (EU) in 2020. Farage has criticised the delivery of Brexit on several occasions.

A prominent Eurosceptic since the early 1990s, Farage's right-wing and anti-immigration domestic views have attracted significant media attention throughout his political career. He is known for his distinctive character and style, including his flamboyant personality, fashion, and social media presence, as well as his form of British right-wing populism. In foreign policy, Farage is an outspoken supporter of US President Donald Trump, whom he has been compared to on several occasions. He has spoken more favourably of Vladimir Putin amidst the Russian invasion of Ukraine than most political leaders, and has been highly critical of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
