I am sorry I don ' t think I understand your point . He is an elite but not one of ' the elite '? It feels a little like splitting hairs . Are you sure you ' re not just defining the elite as things you are against ? There are plenty of ' the elite ' that share his opinions , so that doesn ' t quite make sense to me see the leave campaign . Also , I am fairly certain Farage is neoliberal on economic issues , at least UKIPs platform always seemed to be so barring free travel , which makes sense considering his wealth and background in trading . I sort of get it but not really . I am also fairly sure that the general trend in world politics has been towards the centreright over the last 30 years , since that is basically neoliberalism . Lumping ' lefty ' into that doesn ' t make that much sense .
