Nigel Farage forms his own new party: The Brexit Party

As the Brexit departure date of March 29th draws near, die-hard Brexiteers are growing tired of London’s inaction on the issue.

Some like former UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader and staunch Brexit supporter Nigel Farage have had enough of the Brexit delay. Farage is now taking things into his own hands by supporting an official “Brexit Party”. With the help of former UKIP economic spokeswoman Catherine Blaiklock, Nigel Farage formed the Brexit Party, which is now eligible to compete in UK elections.

In The Telegraph, Farage gave the Brexit Party a raving endorsement stating that the party “was founded with my full support and with the intention of fighting the European elections on May 23 if Brexit has not been delivered by then.”

If the UK’s departure from the EU continues to be delayed, Farage has threatened to run as a candidate for the European Parliament. Farage has been one of the most vociferous proponents for leaving the EU, and the succesful 2016 Brexit campaign catapulted him into the international spotlight.
