Farage Returns?
It really looks like "thinking hard" is a euphemism for "I shall".

With the polls showing that UKIP is already on the rise again under the excellent interim leadership of Steve Crowther, which can only continue with Nigel at the helm, what will be the consequences of a strong third party?

I don't think UKIP is anywhere near 'third party' status and never likely will be at this rate... But that's what was thought of the SNP many moons ago wasn't it?
UKIP can but bloody the noses of those that refuse to listen to the democrat vote to leave though and that can only be a goodnight thing.
All the yabbering and wailing about he was never an MP in Westminster and UKIP only had one MP and all the panic over UKIP is because they were successful in the party aims of OUT and they did all that with so little it FRIGHTENS people.
Just think how he and UKIP would trounce Labour into the ground and probably give the Conservatives a black eye to boot if they got off their backsides and actually got an opposition together.
I'm not too sure but it seems to me that it is Labourites that are more frightened by UKIP and Nigel Farage. Hmmm that can only mean he has his finger on the pulse, for a while at least.

Cassa...Farage would be nowhere without a Party to belong to, and maybe to lead. Without an official position, he is just a noisy voice.
Even if UKIP would have him back, to what would he be the Leader ? Effectively UKIP now ceases to exist in the bigger picture. If you don't have representation at Westminster, you count for nothing.
UKIP succeeded in its aim, to get a Referendum on leaving the EU. Farage always said that once he had achieved that, UKIP would cease to have any purpose.
He recognised that UKIP was never a mainstream Party, but just a pressure group.

As the UK has no centre party at all at the moment anything of real substance would be, if not "strong" but stronger and badly needed, with both main parties appearing to the public as dithering about what they want.
I get sent an occasional newsletter from UKIP and Steve Crowther starts the one I received this week with an attack on the biased BBC, it starts;
"The BBC is now acting as a fully co-opted member of the Remain rearguard. This week’s scare story on supposed post-Brexit food prices and shortages was an extraordinary piece of distortion.
A series of people were recorded saying that under certain circumstances there might be an adverse effect on their area of work or business following Brexit. One was a man who imports chickens, who said their “could” be higher prices. This was followed by an interview with Owen Paterson MP in which John Humphrys plumbed new depths, even by his standards.
The whole confected premise was to create the required headline, scaring people into believing that food prices would rocket and there would be shortages and empty shelves in the shops after Brexit. The fact that food prices are likely to fall, and the UK economy could receive a huge boost from import substitution, was mentioned in the report but entirely ignored by the news headline and the Humphrys interview.
John Humphrys’ interviews increasingly resemble Monty Python’s ‘Mouse Organ’ sketch, in which a deranged man thumps a line of mice with mallets to make them squeak, until he is dragged off the stage."
This is the kind of critism which UKIP excels in, you will not hear from the two main parties and what IMO Britain needs. If UKIP is "of yesterday" you have nothing to fear, but I say,
Bring it on Nige!
