Possibly BoJo is up there. But no one else.
I think Nige always comes across well. Don't agree with him on everything (ie gay marriage for example) but generally he seems pretty on the ball.
If Nige and Boris joined together, it would goodnight for everyone else.

Farage on occassions isn't the best communicator. UKIP need some more credible individuals to front the organisation.0

He's very good on one particular line, I wouldn't say he's up to much over the full spectrum of political issues.
Likewise with Johnson, the cuddly eccentric persona only gets you so far in politics. At some point you have to take a tough line with difficult stances that may make you unpopular in the short term. Not sure he's prepared to do that.They are an EYESORES!!!!0 -

Yet UKIP had more policies than the other parties combined at the last General election.0 -
