Farage's resignation is the best plot twist (or simply plot?) of the British tragicomic story
by Emanuele Bonini
A lot has been already said and written over Brexit, even on this blog. Latest developments impose new considerations on, and make further reflections compulsory. After having sold the Brexit as the best option for the country, the entire political class of Britain is escaping from responsibilities. David Cameron already announced his resignation as prime minister, Boris Johnson took a last-minute decision of renouncing the take over the leadership, and finally the UKIP leader Nigel Farage stepped down, too. No jokes: the winner of the Brexit campaign is now leaving politics. «I have never been and I never wanted to be a career politician. My aim in politics was to get Britain out of the European Union. Now I fell I have done my beat and I couldn't achieve more. I think is right I should now stand aside as leader of UKIP». This is Farage's statement made to announce his resignation. Now, how many politicians do resign after having achieved their goal? This question alone is enough to see how irresponsible are decision makers are in the UK, and how fool were citizens to believe to any single word of this man. A true leader would use his victory to built his career and fortune, but Farage was not a politician, as he personally admitted.
Cameron, Johnson, Farage: all these men brought mess in the country and they now leave to other people the duty of re-establish order. Well done.
Farage said he achieved what he wanted, and this is to him a right reason to quit the scene. No stories, please! This a real escape! People struggling for a political purpose cannot leave once they were fighting for. If Cameron stepped down after the outcome of the referendum is because he was against the Brexit, and this means he has been totally out of mind in calling for such a referendum. What about Boris Johnson, great conservative in favour of leaving the EU? He got what he wanted but immediately after disappeared from the political arena. Farage has been the last one in chronological order to leave, we can say properly. Why does he leave? Because he is nothing but a selfish, superficial, mistaken man. As everybody (and more than everybody) activated a machine of which he has lost the control. UK leaders wanted to blackmail the European Union by playing the lethal game of the Russian roulette. This bluff didn't work, and now British are left in this situation where have been led by mediocre political class. Mediocre and cowardly political class, it has to be added. No one is facing is assuming his own responsibilities. On the contrary, everybody is leaving to their successor this non-performing legacy.
