MEP from Italy’s League party says discussions with Nigel Farage have been going wellNigel Farage’s Brexit party has been in talks to join the far-right group in the European parliament and is keeping its options open about its future allies, a spokesman for the party has said. The talks between the Brexit party and Italy’s far-right League were first revealed by Marco Zanni, a League MEP, who said talks were going well and could be wrapped up next week. The Brexit party is one of the largest national delegations in the European parliament, with 29 MEPs, as many as Angela Merkel’s centre-right CDU-CSU alliance. Of the 29 Brexit party MEPs, 26 will be new to the European parliament. But he later defected to join the League, making the switch to the far-right group in the European parliament.
