I have a lot of respect for Nigel Farage - his actions as an MEP have made him possibly my favourite current politician in Britain, ironically.

Outside of the healthcare reforms, I've actually found Andrew Lansley to be relatively palatable now and then.

Past Tories I respect:
Joseph Chamberlain (His tariff reform crusade in particular)
Neville Chamberlain (Poor foreign policy perhaps, but his oft-overlooked domestic policy was way ahead of its time)
Winston Churchill (Great wartime leader, no denying that)
Harold Macmillan
Enoch Powell (except for his stance on immigration which was stupid then and is still stupid now)

This piece of historical hipsterism has become far too common of late.

I know, I know. Shoot me.
