Which EU Parliament Group Leader is the most popular on Youtube?

Nigel Farage

It is Nigel Farage, Leader of the Europe of Freedom and Democracy Group. But one MEP is even more popular than him: Daniel Hannan. Although he is not a Group Leader, he became famous in 2009, as he  criticized Gordon Brown response to the global financial crisis in the European Parliament. 

It is interesting to see that Joseph Daul, EP biggest group leader, is not popular at all. Note that Martin Schulz and Joseph Daul get the most views as they appear in EU-sceptic movies. They couldn't make it up!
