UKIP...

Surely having the endorsement of any personality with around 1million followers would make you, at worst, ever so slightly more popular?

Not if that “personality” was largely ridiculed, or worse unknown, by a far bigger section of society. Size of social media following isn’t really representative of political sway.

some followers could be doing so out of a sense of irony - others coz they think the person is a wanker but is so pathetic it gives them a giggle................1 million followers doesn't even equate to 1 million supporters.

1 million followers doesn't even equate to 1 million supporters.

It doesn’t even equate to one million actual people either, unfortunately.

Can UKIP become a force again?

I seriously thought they were doing it as some sort of piss take or for a bit of salt mining

There is an element of both but thats hardly a bad thing because drawing the media out exposes the games they play, and all three can hold their own in a shit throwing match without being victims, the more non politicians that get into politics the better.

They're playing both sides.

Pretending it's a pisstake to get the comedy value but actually promoting their values

It is a p*ss take while promoting their values, it also keeps kek going and seriously winds up the left/sjws, about time politics got an edge on it.
