Farage is significant in that he's managed to deeply divide the nation with the Brexit referendum. The small difference in the votes between leave and remain was insignificant which has left many dissatisfied - and nearly 30% of people didn't vote; presumably that means they weren't to upset with the then status quo otherwise they'd have gone out and voted?

I expect historians would say Hitler and Stalin were significant politicians, but perhaps not in such a good way as some others? (Churchill, Kennedy?) So significance doesn't necessarily imply "good" - I guess that's something future historians will judge?
