This am , a man whose party won no seats and precious few votes, was all over the airwaves again. This seems eccentric to me.

Farage. Not an MP. A member of a party who have no MPs. Just a man in a camel coat holding a pint of beer, ranting. Treat him thus.

GET NIGEL FARAGE OFF THE TV! He's not elected, not a party leader, he's nothing, he's history. Get him off...

Every time they think of talking to Nigel Farage on the telly can they ask Caroline Lucas MP instead?

So we can fully expect Nigel Farage and Caroline Lucas to receive equal airtime on TV now. Right?

Another amazing bit of news is that UKIP share of vote has plummeted to 2% (from 12.7% in 2015); the same as Greens.

Please can you explain why we're still being subjected to Farage? He is not the leader and the UKIP vote collapsed

He's not the leader but he remains a significant political voice - particularly in context of Brexit. No reason to not hear from him.

Representing whom? The party he once led have no MPs. Shouldn't we hear more from, say, the Greens, than him?

I think given that we have hours of output we can hear from Nigel Farage, the Greens and many others. Lots of former leaders comment.
