Yeah, but you have to be a kingsized idiot to not know what would happen if the European market broke apart overnight. Either that or they're hoping to cash in on the ensuing crisis that would make the great depression look like a joke. There's nothing to win for working folks like us by the EU falling apart. But there's very much to lose.

Farage already is a hero for right wingers all over Europe. The likes of Le Pen, Wilders, Strache and others. But the question remains, what do they stand to gain when the economy lies in ruins?
