Nigel Farage, a polarizing, pugnacious figure, is one of Britain's most effective communicators and had an outsized impact on its politics for two decades before finally being elected to Britain's Parliament in July.
Mr. Farage's jet-setting lifestyle, recently highlighted by his keynote speech at a dinner for the Heartland Institute, raises questions about his commitment to developing Reform U.K. into a credible political alternative.
A fairly strong case can be made that Nigel Farage has been the most important political figure in all the elections of the last decade, said Robert Ford, a professor of political science at the University of Manchester.
At the annual conference in Birmingham, expected to outline a strategy to professionalize Reform U.K. and build momentum ahead of the local elections next year, Farage's ambitions are left in question.
