Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage has warned that if UK Prime Minister Theresa May allows Brexit to be halted by supporters of European Union membership, Britain will be thrust into its gravest “constitutional crisis” since World War ll.<\/p>\n

Farage, 53, who as UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader convinced May\u2019s predecessor, David Cameron, to call the Brexit referendum and then helped lead the campaign to leave the EU, said Brexit was now in danger of being scuttled by the establishment.<\/p>\n

Farage cast May, who voted to stay in the EU, as \u201cTheresa the appeaser\u201d for giving in to EU demands on almost every element of Brexit negotiations and said London was being humiliated by Brussels.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best-case scenario right now under our current pathetic leadership is Brexit in name only – that is about as good as it gets,<\/em>\u201d Farage told Reuters in his office a few metres from Westminster Abbey.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt worst they are going to make us fight the whole thing again,<\/em>\u201d said Farage. \u201cThat is a significant betrayal of what many millions voted for.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In Britain\u2019s 2016 EU referendum, 52 percent, or 17.4 million people, voted to leave the EU while 48 percent, or 16.1 million, voted to stay.<\/p>\n

PressTV-Nigel Farage says EU doesn\u2019t understand Brexit<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Leading Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage has accused EU negotiator Michel Barnier of failing to understand why Britain voted to leave the bloc.<\/p><\/div>\n

Farage was ridiculed by Cameron as the leader of a bunch of \u201cfruitcakes and loonies and closet racists.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

A supporter of US President Donald Trump, Farage revels in the role he played in what he calls the \u201cBrexit revolution<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

He rejected worries from major banks such as Goldman Sachs that London could lose business as a result of Brexit and cast the EU as a doomed German-dominated experiment in European integration.<\/p>\n

Since the referendum, supporters of EU membership have been exploring a range of legal and political methods to prevent what they see as a colossal historical mistake.<\/p>\n

Opponents of Brexit are trying to garner enough support in the lower house of parliament, the House of Commons, to block any possible withdrawal deal May brings back from Brussels in October.<\/p>\n

European Council President Donald Tusk and French President Emmanuel Macron have raised the prospect of Britain changing its mind on Brexit.<\/p>\n

Among those who have called for Brexit to be halted are former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and Goldman Sachs Group Inc Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
