He's always got a pint in his hand in a photo opportunity. He's trying to act like one of the people. Don't really understand how he can act like one of the people when he's wearing tweed suits and bright yellow corduroy trousers.
I find it very cringe worthy when you see politicians trying to be ordinary because they are far from ordinary. It's sort of a them vs us thing. They try and look ordinary and try and be one of the people in photo opportunities or when there is an election. You see them on the news during an election visiting different towns and cities doing the obligatory food tasting in pie shops, butchers etc showing the electorate and telling them "I am normal you know, I like pies just like all you do".
I personally think that's one of the problems with May is she can't relax and be herself instead she tries to be someone she's not and it comes across awkward. Whereas Corbyn is just himself and doesn't really care what people think. Sturgeon is another one who I think can't relax and pretends to be someone she's not.
Farage is nothing like ordinary people, he's privately educated and worked as a broker in the city. He's as far away from being a man of the people as you can get
He has a talent for playing on the insecurities and fears of ordinary people for his own profit....Thats it.
