Farage predicts UK political earthquake if Brexit is slowed
LONDON — U.K. Independence Party acting leader Nigel Farage has predicted a political earthquake in Britain if the government of Prime Minister Theresa May fails to leave the European Union before the 2020 general election.
The pro-Brexit leader ,who is closely allied with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, said late Wednesday there will be a “seismic shock” if Brexit is delayed.
He complained at a party at London’s Ritz hotel that Britain is lagging behind the United States in changing its political leadership despite the June 23 referendum vote in favor of taking Britain out of the 28-nation EU bloc.
