He's seen as a populist, and a buffoon, yes, but he occasionally exhibits flashes of an intelligence rarely found in a politician. Unfortunately though, he does appear to hold some rather elitist views, has more than once, made racist comments in public, and has been found to lie on numerous occasions, about a countless range of topics. Even a number of his own supporters acknowledge these issues. So it's very hard to believe his appointment will be a good thing for the UK.
