He doesn’t need to be a student to educate himself. Every college bookstore or even amazon has a large selection of textbooks on pretty much every topic imaginable. Some college bookstores even sell online, so he wouldn’t have to drag his middle-aged ass to campus and risk getting infected with socialism.
What he needs is an introductory textbook to give him an overview of the field. Ideally, he’d get one for political science, social science, philosophy, and economics. Also, geography. Maybe math. Come to think of it, if he’s gonna go back to learning, he should review what he learned in high school, since I seriously doubt he remembers much of it. I’m sure Brits have some kind of book or a series of books kids use to prepare for an end of high school exam or a college admission exam or whatever the fuck Britfags do before getting on welfare.

It’s focused on Canada, but I’m sure he could find reading resources written from a Britfag point of view. There isn’t that much to learn. It’s political science, not math or engineering.
Wasting time and money on getting a worthless degree would be stupid, especially since he’d spend 90% of the time arguing with his teachers and getting butthurt that some 18yo kid owned him in a debate. If Sargon wants to take politics seriously, he should do as I said. Learn the basics from readily available textbooks, read the major political philosophers, learn the basics of fields related to and influencing politics, like philosophy, social science, and economics. He has nothing better to do anyway. This is at most a year of studying if he dedicates himself.
That being said, I imagine having an education would hurt his chances as far as getting support from his target audience is concerned. Educated doubt is never quite as loud as dumb certainty.
