Once again, poop confusing popularity with electoral success.

Yes because the only reason they voted Brexit was because Farage the UKIP leader was pushing it, nothing else.
This isn't the point. He wasn't the reason people voted to leave, but he played a key role in making the referendum happen. Those who wanted to leave recognise that. Farage is an immensely popular man with those who hated the EU and heard him speak in their parliament. And that is a lot more people than you seem to think.

Some people just don't seem to learn, do they? First Brexit happened, then Trump. Two things that we were told would not happen, they happened. Why? Well they happened because people voted for it. Why did people think it wouldn't happen? Media.

You think Farage is unpopular because the media portray him as some kind of smug racist. We're not falling for it. That's why Brexit happened. The proof is right there. It happened. So why do you think that Farage is unpopular? Are all your friends left wing hipsters who think open door immigration is a national obligation?
