Financial Times : UK Political Elite is very worried. Nigel Farage’s insurgent populist movement is threatening the political duopoly that controls Britain

Because he receives constant funding from various dubious international sources.

People voted Tories and are frustrated by what they delivered. People then voted Labour and will be frustrated by what they deliver. Then they might move to the next party.

Plus people feel neglected. They want attention and the feeling of being important. Right wing populists are very successful in doing that, just like an abusive partner. People know it's bad for them, but they feel like they are taken care of.

Given how the Tories were eager to usecBrexit to destroy public services and funnel more money to the rich and how labour is just continueing the neoliberal course happily...

Farage is useful to them by normalizing extreme ideas and making the Tories and Labour look moderate with Farage being the extreme.

The way labour behaves demonstrates to people that it doesnt matter how they vote: In then end the 1% get richer, the rest gets the boot.

Small wonder that people are angry. But Farage, the man who instigated brexit but then left the sinking ship.

Maybe Labour should start behaving like a left-wing party instead of a Tony Blair tribute band.

The problem is that neoliberals will gladly hand power to fascists rather than see the pocketbooks of the wealthy affected in any way.

Just look at how the allegedly-Democratic party in the US continues to pave the way for Trump.

After ruining UK with the catastrophic Brexit that was filled with nothing but lies - why is Farage still relevant and not in jail, hung, beheaded or thrown in front of any kind of rodent?

Pressures like these have historically sometimes led to countries becoming more democratic, so hopefully it'll lead to the UK applying some reforms allowing for a more proportional system. Labour probably has the numbers for it. But just at least as likely nothing will change.
