Former United Kingdom Independence Party leader Nigel Farage, who launched the Brexitcampaign in the U.K., said Sunday that the anger among British voters regarding the latest developments with the Brexit deal is “unlike anything I have ever seen before.”
Appearing on “Fox & Friends” from London on Sunday morning, Farage said he believes the country still wants to leave the European Union; however, members or Parliament “have broken all promises they made to the people.”
“They promised that Brexit would be delivered and actually there’s pretty much a majority in that place who really do not want us to leave the European Union, don’t want us to become an independent country and they have now for over three years frustrated every attempt to get Brexit delivered,” Farage said.
“We have this big, hard deadline of Halloween, October 31. We are supposed to leave then. It now looks unlikely that we will, so as you can probably imagine the anger that is building amongst British voters is unlike anything I have ever seen before.”
In a major blow to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, U.K. lawmakers voted Saturday to postpone a decision on whether to back his Brexit deal with the European Union, throwing a wrench into government plans to leave the bloc at the end of the month.
At a special session of Parliament intended to ratify the deal, lawmakers voted 322-306 to withhold their approval until legislation to implement it has been passed.
The vote aims to ensure that the United Kingdom can’t crash out of the EU without a divorce deal on the scheduled October 31 departure date.
As required by law, Johnson sent an unsigned letter to the EU late Saturday seeking a delay to Britain’s upcoming Oct. 31 departure from the bloc, but then sent a signed letter saying he does not favor another Brexit extension.
