This is the trouble with the current version of right wing populism: they want to break systems, and that can be achieved – maybe in subtly different ways – whether or not the proponents are skilful or just incompetent loons, as both Brexit and Trump have proved. It's why I am pretty confident Farage would stop the NHS functioning with 12 months if he were PM, as it runs on a knife edge even when it's being run 'well' by people who want it to work well, such is the complexity. Everyone and every system in it is a vital component of a complex organisation, and all Farage would have to do would be the equivalent of putting diesel into a petrol car's fuel tank.
