He looked jubilant after the vote, despite the fact that it could mean the end of his political career after 25 years of campaigning as he would lose his job as an MEP and does not have a Westminster seat.
However, he said today that the next step for Britain is a ‘pro-Brexit’ Prime Minister and after the vote, David Cameron announced he will stand aside in October.
After losing the campaign for Britain to remain in the EU, Cameron could now face a snap election which may leave the door open for Farage to finally win a seat in the Commons.
Ukip leader Nigel Farage today celebrated a momentous win, claiming victory and the completion of his life’s work after Britain voted to leave the European union.
It was a dramatic turnaround from the sombre scenes as Farage publicly admitted defeat last night when exit polls gave Remain a slim lead
However, as Leave took an early lead with a huge win in Sunderland, Farage looked elated as the prospect of his lifelong dream coming true looked possible
Nigel Farage responds to a historic victory today, although it could mean the end of his career in politics. After the result was confirmed this morning, he said: ‘Today, the sun has risen on an independent Britain, and look at it, even the weather has improved.’
He said on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme this morning that the next step is choosing the right leader, and suggested June 23 – ‘independence day’ – should be made a public holiday.
Late last night, the Ukip leader looked crestfallen as he publicly admitted defeat when the exit polls gave Remain a slim lead.
However, by 12.30am, he looked jubilant as Sunderland returned with a big victory for Leave that experts had previously predicted would indicate they would go on to win the vote.
