Last Sunday, I went to a Brexit party rally in Frimley, Surrey. Inside, 1,200 or so people had gathered to hear Nigel Farage and most of the party’s other would-be MEPs for the south-east region. Clearly, however much noise it creates, support for the Brexit party and its agenda remains a minority taste. The Brexit fight, in other words, is arguably more imbalanced than it has ever been, even as calamity looms. As he tries to terrify the ruling party into doing his bidding, Farage has discipline, media nous and the clearest of messages.
