That was totally nonsensical to highlight someone such as Farage, who is not in any government/position to dictate and force a vote...

Farage/UKIP, and the support they gathered, were the main reason the Referendum happened - they gave more credibility to the Tory Euro-sceptics, and were threatening to tear the Tories apart, so the Referendum was given to placate them, and those who were threatening to support UKIP and Farage (and for most of it’s time, Farage was seen as UKIP).
