The negative impact of Brexit has prompted Britons to hold regular demonstrations against leaving the EU
These days mark the seventh anniversary of one of the biggest political events in the UK's contemporary history, when the UK voted to leave the EU in a June 2016 referendum with 51% support and 49% against.
The UK has yet to emerge from the "Brexit" vortex, although it has paid a heavy price for Brexit, including its economic status and political stability – it has experienced four prime ministers in just 6 years.
The popularity of Brexit is declining even among the most ardent supporters, while something akin to a "curse" has been plaguing the pioneers of this controversial project – the engineers of Brexit hoping to bring themselves political glory after Brexit, when the reality is quite the opposite, their status is declining and they have become semi-"pariahs" in British politics.
Johnson was one of the pioneers in the push for Brexit
From glory to expulsion
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is one of the stark examples of what happened to Brexiteers. Johnson was a leader in the Brexit campaign, and he did achieve his goal by getting the British to vote for Brexit - Johnson gradually rose in political stature, rising to the position of foreign secretary during May's administration, and replacing her as the leader of the Conservative Party after the fall of May.
2019 was Boris Johnson's political glory year, a year of elections that made him the undisputed leader of the Conservative Party and won an absolute majority in Parliament, after which Johnson's popularity has strengthened during the coronavirus pandemic, so much so that political analysts believe that Johnson is following in the footsteps of the famous British leader Winston Churchill.
But soon, the political edifice collapsed in the face of many political scandals, and during the total lockdown imposed by the new crown epidemic, the scandal of hosting a party at the Prime Minister's residence dealt a fatal blow to Boris Johnson's political path, and caused him to lose the prime minister's throne, his seat in parliament, and leave parliament with charges of lying and misleading.
Still, Johnson sees himself as a staunch supporter of Brexit. It was this issue that made Johnson his political glory, except that years after the referendum, Johnson was almost out of the political arena, and his return became difficult or nearly impossible.
Dominic Cummings is one of the most famous figures among the masterminds of the Brexit campaign
The mysterious "Godfather of Brexit"
If Boris Johnson was one of the most famous faces during and after the Brexit campaign, one of the founders of the Brexit movement was none other than Dominic Cummings, who was even the mastermind behind the idea and acted in obscurity, and one of Britain's most famous campaign planners.
After Johnson took office, Dominic Cummings was appointed as the prime minister's chief adviser to express Johnson's favor for Dominica, but the friendly relationship between the two soon turned into a fierce war - Johnson fired Dominic Cummings after he was suspected of violating coronavirus prevention measures.
After that, Dominic Cummings leaked a lot of talk and content about Johnson's response to the new crown epidemic, and provided testimony against Johnson in parliament, which became a milestone in his conviction.
And after Dominic Cummings was considered the most famous and powerful adviser in the world of political propaganda, after he became the focus of talk in the British media, and after he was considered the key to the success of the Conservative Party in the 2019 elections, he chose to hide and stay away from the political scene, returning to the writing of his famous online blog.
Nigel Farage admitted the failure of Brexit, even though he was one of the staunch supporters of Brexit
Acknowledge the failure of Brexit
British politician Nigel Farage, one of the representatives of the right-wing populist movement in the United Kingdom, was a staunch supporter of Brexit during his tenure as leader of the UK Independence Party, and his joy was palpable when he left the European Parliament, but what he may not know is that this departure will cost him a lot on the political road.
Just after the British referendum agreed to leave the European Union, the country entered this still unsolved puzzle, Nigel Farage lost the leadership of the Independence Party, and then he announced the formation of the Leave Party, but failed to resist the strong rise of the Conservative Party. In 2021, Nigel Farage decided to change the name of his party to the Reform Party and became its honorary president without any actual political office.
Nigel Farage caused a lot of controversy by admitting that "Brexit has failed" through a strong statement, which means that the idea of leaving the EU has not been implemented as required, but has become a failed idea.
The politician, known for his hostility to immigrants, tried to take advantage of the Conservative Party's weakness to return to politics despite his declining popularity. He believes this is a great opportunity to launch an offensive against the right-wing-minded Conservative constituency bloc.
