Another subjective ad-hominem attack on people you don't really know much about.

Dropping names of someone that wrote a book isn't an argument. Doesn't address the actual tenor of what I was saying.
I notice that you haven't addressed the fact that you were completely incorrect about Farage and his policies. Let me remind you what your claim was, you said he had no policies. I showed you the Manifesto of 2015 (which is as substantive as their rivals).

This is a ridiculous. You have spent more energy telling me why you won't do something than actually doing it.
