Who are the 10 biggest villains of Brexit?
The IndependentFive years on, with only 30 per cent of voters saying that leaving the EU was the right decision, more Leave voters saying Brexit has been a failure than a success, and with the nation poorer as a result, it is time to take stock of where the blame lies… 1. Nigel Farage The plausible City trader with a pub bore’s easy solution to every problem, he rallied British public opinion, always suspicious of “Europe”, with the simple answer: just get out. As the dominant force in EU politics, she could have given David Cameron concessions on the free movement of people that might have swung the referendum for Remain. It was that, as prime minister, he would renegotiate Johnson’s Brexit deal and put it to the British people in another referendum, in which he would not take a view either way. He had some success until the Iraq war turned most of “old” Europe against him, but his policy towards the 10 new member states that joined in 2004 helped pave the way for Brexit.
