How UKIP Made Brexit Without Any Power – Brexit Explained

Brexit has been dominating the UK’s political discussion for the last few years. At the centre of that has been Nigel Farage and UKIP, both pushing for the UK to leave the European Union (EU). The interesting thing is that neither UKIP nor Farage has ever had much official political influence, with the party only ever having 2 MPs at the same time. So how were they able to make Brexit a national talking point and convince the UK to leave?

In this video, we’re going to have a look into the Clacton by-election, why the other parties have stood down, what Farage’s plan is, and why it seems like it may have already backfired.

It seems pretty much a certainty that Andy Burnham will be the next British prime minister. Exactly when it happens depends on a few factors. We outline some of the reasons an early general election is likely.

Well, this explains a lot. I didn't understand why there was ever a referendum in the first place that lead the whole Brexit mess. Thank you! This is such a great channel!
Btw: I think the title should be 'The Origins of Brexit'
Another side note: the lion logo is a blatant rip off of EPL! What a joke. Then they go backwards with their original terrible logo 😂

If UKIP/Brexit Party proves one thing, it's that even in First Past the Post if you vote for a third party it is not a wasted vote, as Jay Foreman said in his excellent video on voter apathy, there is no such thing as a wasted vote. Period. The 2 big parties in numerous examples from Australia (People voting for the Nats led the Liberals to reform the voting system away from FPTP) to Britain will do much to get your vote back to stay in power, and that includes looking at the party program of the third party and adopting some of their policies that got people to leave the big 2.

I like the pound sign logo, it symbolises British sovereignty and the importance of keeping the pound which are both crucial issues to UKIP.

I will make this prediction now if they don't change their style of poltics just in 30-40 years from now they will be the biggest party or win the general elections.

Nigel Farage is the shadow of darkness that scared the daylights out of complacent conservatives. He rumbled them, he woke them up.

December 29, 2023 at 7:18 am
Cameron was a political gambler. He chanced his luck on the previous 2 but the EU one was a stretch too far because he was up against an organised and prepared leader in Farage.

let's be clear the pro euro Tories lost which is a tiny part of the party the majority of the Tories are netural or pro independence. Labour is mostly split on the issue

Prime Minister Cameron failed everybody. ‘I will enact the result of the referendum’ I voted on that basis. When he washed his hands, Pontius Pilate style, I was disgusted. Result chaos and factional in fighting. Ah well, it’s all coming good 1 Jan. Nigel’s knighthood will be on its way, I am sure.

I like your channel; but this is rubbish… Farage is no more than a hate filled fascist and no better than a black shirt who were outed on Cable street in 1936. Even as a remainer I admit there may be too much wrong that only a clean sheet of paper will fix. Johnson, a decent human being; said he did not need or want this trouble makers help and he did not…
