UK Government to ensure Nigel Farage MEP does NOT get a seat in House of Lords

Petition Details

UKIP MEP Nigel Farage says he is a man of the people and his stance against unelected bureaucrats and elitism is well documented. He is also a highly divisive figure who uses incitement as a means to achieve political ambition. It would therefore be inappropriate to ascend him to the House of Lords.
