The world would be a “better, more secure place” if America took over Greenland, Nigel Farage said at Davos, while insisting that he still believed in the sovereignty of nation states. “[I]f you believe in the nation state and not globalist structures, you believe in sovereignty,” he said. “So I think that’s really, really important.”Asked about the rise in popularity of Reform in the UK, Farage referred to the “moral decline” of Britain and said people were disenchanted with politics and wanted an alternative to the Conservatives and the Labour party. Positive polling ratings represented “a Britain that is in very serious decline, economic decline, social decline, even moral decline, in many ways, in knowing the difference between right and wrong. I really do.”
