With Nigel Farage visiting Cleveland, prominent party figures weigh in on EU referendum that is ‘only good for liberal progressives’

Donald Trump, one of the few international political figures to endorse Brexit, saw a party mostly united behind that stance at the Republican national convention in Cleveland this week.

Carl Paladino, a longtime Trump backer and former Republican nominee for governor of New York, hailed the result of the referendum. Paladino told the Guardian: “I think [the European Union] is only good for liberal progressives who want to go in there and use this union of bureaucrats to control people’s lives, because that’s their mission in life: to control every aspect of your life and make your life as miserable as possible.”

The outspoken New Yorker thought the referendum result was connected to Trump’s rise in the United States. “I think the UK was just a preliminary symbol of what’s happening in America right now.”

Nigel Farage, architect of the Brexit campaign, arrived in Cleveland to witness Donald Trump’s remarkable rise to win the Republican nomination for president.

Conservatives all seem to believe that the UK leaving the EU is a good thing. I suspect they are right in the sense that the UK will adopt more conservative policies now that it is 'free' from the EU.

1. But most of those at the Cleveland Trump lovefest are as ignorant as Trump on that matter.

2. They probably think it's a new boner pill.
