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.

There are times when people state our optimism in the 2016 presidential election is missing the required amount of caution or concern.  However, what many of those voices don’t realize is the research-based reasoning for our outlook.
If you tune out the media noise, look around and pay close attention, you can see the groundwork for an epic landslide everywhere.

The historical playbook of the oppositional left (for sake of expediency Democrats) has always been to carve the larger electorate into smaller, more manageable, sub categories they call “interest groups”.  Those groups are then micro-targeted with campaign messaging tailored to their self-interest; and historically they have been successful.
The traditional method to countering this approach (pushed by a set of political consultants who genuinely think they understand, but factually are wrong) has been to apply the same strategic targeting -campaign message- back upon the carved out, by tailoring a counter ideological message to their needs.

Very salty language, but the points made are insanely accurate.
With the context of the last twelve months of sunlight upon a political process as a backdrop, this George Carlin segment is essentially the USA version of the Brexit argument.

[Transcript]  “There’s a reason education SUCKS, and it’s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it, be happy with what you’ve got.

Because the owners of this country don’t want that. I’m talking about the REAL owners, now. The REAL owners, the BIG WEALTHY business interests that control things and make all the important decisions — forget the politicians.

Ever since they initially came on the political scene, it has always seemed odd that no reporter ever asks: “when was the last time you saw your husband?.
There’s absolutely nothing within the definition of “marriage” that fits the two professional politicians, Bill and Hillary.  Their relationship is always in the abstract when referenced.

Hillary doesn’t stand a chance of winning the election. There’s a reason why no-one shows up to her events, speeches or rallies. Authenticity is always a key aspect to electoral victory; she just ain’t got it.
♦ In 2008 there were 38,111,341 Democrat votes in the primary. In 2016 there were 28,269,195. A net decrease of 9,842,146 (-29%)
♦ In 2012 there were 19,214,513 Republican votes in primary. In 2016 there were 30,261,999. A net increase of 11,047,486 (+57%)

There are many people who don’t support July 4th, America’s birthday.  They simply hate everything this nation stands for and they don’t believe in an exceptional America.  As a consequence, for them, July 4th represents everything they despise.
There was a time when those voices were few and far between; we used to call them the radical left or the far left.  Unfortunately, with the growth of the political left, and the growth of the institutional leftist constructs pushing out the center-left, the anti-American sentiment is now the populous sentiment within the largest elements of the Democrat party.
It’s now generally accurate to say Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders supportive camps are within the grouping who hate America; at least by the same scope they hate religion, any references to Christianity, the U.S. flag and the U.S. military writ large.
A gradual erosion of pride has given way to a daily onslaught.  It’s has only taken about a generation of anti-Americanism to infect large parts -perhaps most parts- of the Millennial generation; although the initial advocates still attempt to cloud their hatred under the auspices of various social justice endeavors.  (more…)

Before watching this video it’s important to note something.  Brianna Keilar is filling in for Jake Tapper on State of the Union.  CNN’s Brianna Keiler was previously on assignment as an embed reporter with the Hillary Clinton campaign during the campaign.
Notice how no other network shifts an embed “reporter” into a position of punditry other than CNN. Jake Tapper used to work for Chelsea Cinton’s mother-in-law.  If you have followed their “reporting” you’ll note both Tapper and Keilar are the primary “journ-o-list” advocates for Hillary Clinton on the network:

Abinta Kabir, a student at Emory University who was from Miami, Florida; Faraaz Hossain, who attended the college’s business school and Tarushi Jain, 19, who studied at University of California Berkeley campus, were brutalized, tortured and killed at the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

( Via Daily Mail ) According to witnesses a group of seven Islamist radicals stormed the cafe yesterday evening armed with assault weapons, pistols and ‘sharp objects’ before taking more than 30 people hostage.
The terrorists then hacked 20 people to death, sparing only those who could recite the Koran, before engaging police in a 12-hour standoff.
The cafe was eventually stormed by elite Bangladeshi commandos who killed the attackers and freed the remaining hostages.
Among those killed are nine Italians, seven Japanese, one Indian, two Bangladeshi, and an American citizen of Bangladeshi origin. (read more) <– Warning for Graphic Content

You will probably not see much discussion of this in the Western, especially U.S. media, however Austria has announced they are overturning the May 22nd election result and will now hold a new presidential election.

The Freedom Party (nationalist/conservative) candidate, Norbert Hofer, lost the election to the former leader of the Greens Party (globalist/liberal), Alexander Van der Bellen, by 30,863 votes (less than one percentage point).  The election will now be re-run.
In between the prior vote (May) and the decision to hold a new vote (July) a reasonable person cannot avoid noticing/referencing the Brexit vote (June). Now Austria will get a do-over, absent of the fraud, and with it an opportunity for self determination.
