It is somewhat funny, perhaps quizzically so, that people cannot see the mutually beneficial play amid the strong relationship formed between Donald Trump and Nigel Farage. Essentially and substantively, 2016 geo-political outcomes have become a game of teams: Democratic Nationalists -vs- Totalitarian Globalists.
Toward that end we see the globalist team getting crushed at each electoral occasion: (1. Brexit referendum, 2. Trump election, 3. Italian -Renzi- referendum); and we see the left-wing ideologues flailing around wildly, trying to regain their footing.
The latest visible globalist synergy is leftists within British Parliament blaming Russia for Brexit and Cameron’s defeat, while simultaneously the White House blames Russia for Trump’s victory and Clinton’s defeat. Despite the ridiculous nature of both claims, there is a unified globalist narrative there.
These outcomes are where Trump and Farage became the visible political face of the anti-globalist movement. As a direct result of voters the U.K. is forced to accept Brexit, and at some levels actually attempting to avoid implementing Brexit, ergo the power of a U.S. President (Trump) supporting the Brexit referendum is leverage for Mr. Farage.
Hence, a relationship based on “mutually beneficial leverage”….

Mr. Nigel Farage, MEP (Member of European Parliament), spoke earlier today in Brussels. Farage warned, yet again, about the contradiction of a supposed ‘democratic body’ (the EU) refusing to change policies amid the visible outcomes of Democratic Nationalism.

Catching up on some lengthier presentations – this speech by Nigel Farage on November 11th is well worth a watch. Against the backdrop of Brexit and the successful election of Donald Trump, Mr. Farage reflects upon issues that bind the United States and Great Britain.
Nigel Farage discusses: nationalism, political impacts, global financial interests, trade, NATO and the European Union. Mr. Farage also shares his perspective on the “wonderfully spicy” Trump rally in Mississippi during the presidential election.
There’s also a great 10 minute question and answer session toward the end.

The Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi is attempting to push back against increasing nationalistic sentiments by establishing a referendum tomorrow to fundamentally adjust the political powers of central governance.
In essence, tomorrow Italians will vote “YES” to approve of Renzi’s referendum, or “NO” to oppose his referendum. The referendum itself is a wide ranging construct intended to realign and centralize political power away from Italy’s current regional influences.
An analogy for Americans might be to think of Italy’s referendum as the elimination of the U.S. constitution’s 10th Amendment. [Which essentially says all powers not directly given to the federal government are necessarily retained by the states.] Italy’s vote tomorrow is to determine if their regions (states) are willing to cede power to Renzi’s centralized (federal) government.

According to The Sunday Times Queen Elizabeth is planning to invite President Donald Trump for an official state visit during the summer of 2017. Great Britain has long been the strongest ally to the U.S. provoking causing consternation from the left-wing elements amid both nations.
President Obama strained the relationship by criticizing the United Kingdom’s colonial heritage, removing a Winston Churchill bust from the oval office, and giving the Queen the gift of an iPod containing all of his own speeches.
(Via Sunday Times) Donald Trump is to be invited to meet the Queen as the government deploys its “secret weapon” to cement close ties with the new American president.
Plans to roll out the red carpet for Trump with a state visit in the summer of 2017 are being drawn up at the highest levels in Whitehall. A formal invitation for Trump to make the UK one of his first foreign stops will be issued once he is sworn in as president on January 20. (more…)
Speaking to a boisterous crowd of over 10,000 supporters in Jackson Mississippi, candidate Donald Trump introduced Nigel Farage the leader of the U.K. Independence party – who led a campaign culminating a successful exit of Great Britain from the corruptocrats and corporatist elites within the European Union:
After the Brexit vote, the immediate and continual cries from the failed globalists within the ‘Remain’ camp exploited a narrative of Scotland who had a majority vote to stay in the EU.
However, the most current poll (full pdf below) now offering Scotland the option to leave the United Kingdom and align with the European Union, finds the majority of Scots want to stay in the UK even if it means they cannot access the single-market system of the European Union.
Additionally, there are many indications that Britain is on the cusp of a major economic boom as a result of the EU Brexit. This poll is a significant fail for the narrative of the European and Western globalists.
(Reuters) Most Scots still back remaining in the United Kingdom despite Britons voting to leave the European Union, a move which was opposed by the majority in Scotland, according to an opinion poll published on Saturday.
Scotland’s nationalist First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said the June 23 vote for Brexit had put Scottish independence back on the agenda just two years after it was rejected in a referendum. (more…)
Nigel Farage question and answer session at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Mr. Farage answers questions about Donald Trump, 2016 nationalistic politics, the current European Union and Brexit. Well worth watching.
Beyond the annoyingly GOPe progressive interviewer, this is a great interview:
This should really not come as a surprise. UKIP was formed on a singular principle, the “United Kingdom Independence Party” (hence, UKIP).
After achieving Brexit, what most political observers said was “the impossible”, Nigel Farage is leaving UKIP while most certainly ‘on top’. Mr. Farage steps down from leading the insurgent party to focus on how he can aid other small national insurgencies to achieve their own national independence.
(Via Reuters) The leader of the insurgent right-wing UK Independence Party said on Monday he was stepping down after realising his ambition to win a vote for Britain to leave the EU, the latest twist in a dramatic reshaping of the nation’s politics.

In the course of the past week there has been a considerable amount of discussion regarding the meaning of the Brexit vote and the possible connection to a resurgence of economic nationalism that may also play out in the 2016 U.S. election.
Globalists (liberals writ large) argue the Brexit vote is isolated to the U.K and the failures of the EU. However, some economic nationalists argue the Brexit vote is indeed indicative of a larger awakening amid people who see globalism, corporatism and political influence by multinational corporations, as bureaucratic largesse in a similar vein as the EU system.
I believe the latter framework is accurate. The U.K Brexit vote has a strong connectivity to a similar sentiment within the U.S. electorate.
