“I think the advantage we had [as Brexit proponents was] It was a very clear and simple brochure,” he said.
“We (the UK) have joined what is called the European Union, a political union. We would effectively become provinces of this new global structure. So the idea we want to leave out – was a pretty clear yes or no decision, because most populist movements aim to change the narrative. And it is more difficult to determine what is success. ,

Farage said then-Prime Minister David Cameron, leader of the Conservative Party – considered Britain’s version of the right-wing US Republican Party – was promising to “reform” the system from his perch at 10 Downing.
“We will fight for a better deal” [Cameron would say], but he could never have said that we were going to leave the EU,” Faraz continued. “So that was the only advantage I had. It was a very clear brochure. Now it’s taken another long time. But in the end we won despite everything.”

Despite strong opposition from Labor – Britain’s version of the left-wing American Democratic Party – and the reluctance of Conservative Party leaders, Farage’s vision was successful in the elections and the UK was on the verge of becoming independent again.
“It was a referendum on democracy itself – do you want more control over your life, that’s democracy,” he said. “And suddenly you got lectures from people claiming to represent democracy that said, no, you’re not allowed to back down.”
Since Brexit, Labor and the Scottish National Party (SNP), as well as left-wing factions in Northern Ireland, have opposed a number of new concerns, such as the UK’s relationship with the Republic of Ireland, a member of the European Union.
