Mr. Farage Goes to Washingtonby Oliver Wiseman December 9, 2016 He delivered neither Brexit nor Trump’s win, but he’s surfing the populist wave. If Brexit has a face in America, it is the chinless Cheshire-cat grin of Nigel Farage. He is the former leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), a British anti–European Union party that shares some characteristics with the populist movements on the march across Europe. Unless they were paying close attention to June’s referendum on EU membership, most Americans probably first caught sight of Farage in late August, when he shared the stage with Donald Trump at a rally in Mississippi. Backstage, Trump heralded Farage as the original “Mr. Brexit,” telling aides, family members and other guests what an amazing job “Nigel” had done in the EU referendum. After Trump’s very own amazing job, Farage was the first foreign politician to meet the president-elect. The image of an overjoyed Farage posing with a tie-less Trump giving a thumbs up in front of doors so shiny that they could only be on one of the more oxygen-starved floors of Trump Tower dominated the next day’s front pages in Britain. In the weeks since that photograph was taken, Trump and Farage have indulged in considerable feather ruffling, with the former tweeting, for example, that the latter would make an excellent British ambassador to the United States.Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/442891/nigel-farage-ukip-european-union-euroskepticism-brexit-immigration-donald-trump
