Farage reveals shock way he believes Brexit will be achieved with Boris Johnson as PM

Nigel Farage insisted that as Prime Minister Boris Johnson should outright tell Parliament the country is leaving the EU with a no deal Brexit and dare MPs to vote him down. In this event, Mr Farage argued Mr Johnson would then suffer a second referendum or general election. However, he noted that in this eventuality, he believes Mr Johnson would win.

While speaking LBC he said: “Michael on Facebook says Boris should have been there instead of Theresa May from day one.

“Of course Michael, he probably would have been if Michael Gove hadn’t, as some people see it, stabbed him in the back.

“Janice asks how is anyone going to get no deal past Parliament, including Boris.

“Well, Janice that is a great question, the legislation that is in place, the law of the land is that we are leaving on October 31, that remains the case unless the Government decides to change that.

“It was Mrs May that changed the legislation that meant we didn’t leave on March 29.

“So legally and constitutionally there is nothing that Parliament or the Speaker can do.

“To change this, hence the debate of proroguing, suspending Parliament and just letting time run out.

“Whilst that is the technical legal position, I think the reality is that Parliament could stop that from happening.

“Rory Stewart himself even suggested that all the MPs go to Methodist central hall across the street in Westminster and pass a resolution to bring down the Government.

“I think in reality it is difficult to do this without the support of Parliament.

“The way that Brexit really gets achieved is if Boris is brave enough to say we are leaving on WTO terms.

“Daring the House of Commons to vote him down and if they do, putting it to the country and in those circumstances, I think he would win.”

The Tory party appear to want to avoid a general election out of fear of losing votes to Mr Farage and Jeremy Corbyn.

The European elections saw a massive decrease in the support for the Tory party with fears lingering a similar result could befall the party in a general election unless Brexit is delivered.
