After a summer exciting emotions through his provocative rhetoric, Farage again disappears from the country as soon as the House of Commons reconvenes. You could almost gain the impression that he's more interested in confrontational street protest than he is in parliamentary democracy.
Very much MAGA tactics. Why waste time in parliamentary debate when you can go directly to voters with press conferences timed to give desperate media folk something to show while mainstream politicians have vacated the stage? Also using protests to make his case. He is cunning and clever.
You day'cunning and clever'. Others would suggest 'devious and sinister' as a more appropriate description.
Surely you can apply all four adjectives depending on context?
