In a dramatic eve-of-poll message, the Ukip leader says that every ballot cast for his "People's Army" insurgency in tomorrow's general election is a vote for "change" in Britain's broken political system.
He hits out at the Westminster establishment for refusing to address key issues including immigration, defence and housing during the election campaign.
And he warns that the result will be a "travesty" if his party wins millions of votes but only a handful of MPs when the ballots are counted tomorrow night.
"Vote Ukip wherever you are," Mr Farage said in an exclusive interview on the campaign trail in his battle to become MP for South Thanet.
"In our target seats, if you vote Ukip you'll get Ukip.
"But even in those seats that we don't win, every single vote for Ukip is a vote for change, a change in direction for our country but also a change in our voting system because the one we've got doesn't work anymore."
Mr Farage expected Ukip to get a similar vote to last year's European elections when more than one in four voters - 4.3million people - backed his People's Army.
But Westminster's first-past-the-post voting system could mean the party being grossly under-represented in the Commons.
