    Why was Farage at a World Leader conference? He doesn’t run any countries? Just another excuse to not be in his constituency I guess.

          I wasn’t trying to rank them

          There must be 1000s of people that lead a state that aren’t there (given ~200 countries). What makes this guy’s presence so special? Or, perhaps, his presence is also out of place

            California is 2/3 the size of the UK.

            Farage is an MP of a constituency of 75 thousand, and won the election for that position with 21225 votes. He’s not a minister, he’s not an appointed leader of anything, he’s not even the leader (or any official part) of the official opposition in the UK parliament. Hell he’s not even doing a passable job at being an MP given he’s missed like, 70+% of parliamentary meetings, and hasn’t held any significant surgeries in his constituency either. He’s the literal definition of paid for doing nothing politician, shuffling around Fasc-a-Lago hoping to earn some favours by having his nose so far up Trump’s ass he could diagnose the tangerine tyrant’s appendix…
