“I’m in this out of conviction.”
Reasoning & Evidence09 Jul 2026
This is a claim about Farage’s own subjective motive, which public evidence cannot independently prove or disprove. The interview transcript does show that he said, on 2 December 2011, “I’m in this out of conviction,” but that only confirms that he uttered the statement, not that the internal state of mind it describes is verifiable as fact.

From article
I haven’t given up a successful career, I haven’t given up all my free time, I haven’t given up all my hobbies just because I want to be a politician. I’m in this out of conviction
The problem with that line of thinking is that, however rotten and bad we may view our political class at any given time, as long as we have a parliamentary democracy we have the power to change it, because we have the power to sack everybody and bring in new people with fresh political ideas. What you cannot do in this European system is change anything, because it’s the civil servants – the Commission – that have the power.
