You miss my point.
The EU is a bully, just look what they did or did not do when it came to Catalonia and Spain, Spain went in mob handed and assaulted those people, the EU turned a blind eye, may be said a few words.
Poland stands up to those corrupt imbeciles @ the EU and they start threatening sanctions. I am so frigging glad we are leaving that absolutely detestable gang of EU halfwits.
So to my point, Farage cannot dictate government policy, there has been strong EU skepticism since day one, way before Farage came on the scene. That has grown over the years when millions of people saw with their own eyes how corrupt the EU was/is and then voted accordingly.
