Farage predicts Dexit after meeting with Danish People’s Party
The eurosceptic Danish People’s Party (DF) met with former UKIP leader Nigel Farage in Copenhagen on Wednesday in a move to formulate a referendum for Denmark to leave the EU.

Nigel Farage met with DF veteran Søren Espersen, the party’s foreign affairs spokesman, and the parliamentary leader of DF Peter Skaarup in the Parliament building at Christiansborg castle, where the former UKIP leader said he expected Denmark to follow the UK’s example out of the European Union.
Farage denied that the meeting was scheduled with DF to “write a manifesto” for the party, but added that the EU’s days were numbered. He was in the Danish capital for the NewsXchange conference, where more than 630 journalists from the mainstream American networks like CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC along with scores of European and other worldwide media outlets were represented.
“It’s a question of time before Denmark leaves the EU,” Farage predicted according to Danish TV2. His hosts were less certain, however.
Søren Espersen said that the outcome of Brexit now being brought before a High Court in London, would determine whether his party goes ahead with the refrendum.
“I am tempted to see what Britain gets out of it. If they end up in a reasonable place, that’s what we should do. But we’re not there yet,” he explained to the news agency Ritzau. “We would really like to influence those discussions so that Britain gets as good a deal as possible. The UK should not be punished for what it’s done. We should help them along the way,” he said.
Farage, one of the first leaders to meet with US president-elect Donald Trump, told his audience that 2016 had been “the year of political revolution, the year of outsiders”.
“There has been the outbreak of nation state democracy. It’s a virulent disease and it is going to sweep the entire Western world, in my opinion”, he said and added that “a lot of little people showed that they had had enough and voted for change”.
He explained that social media and the internet were responsible for the fact that governments cannot continue to lie to voters anymore.
