nobody" can begin to contemplate the political realignment Britain will face if Brexit is derailed.

By M Baska
NIGEL FARAGE has warned Mrs May "nobody" can begin to contemplate the political realignment Britain will face if Brexit is derailed.
The former Ukip leader argued if Theresa May’s Government did not regain control over the UK’s borders and legislative power from the European Union, the 17.4million Britons who voted to leave would rise up against the establishment.
Mr Farage was speaking after the first day of the Government's appeal in the Supreme Court over whether Parliament is required to vote before the Prime Minister begins Britain's formal exit from the EU.
Speaking to Sky News, Mr Farage said: “If Brexit doesn’t mean Brexit, you know if we don’t get back control of our borders, the ability to make our laws, our fishing waters, all those things we clearly voted for back in June.
“If those things don’t happen, then I would say this to you; if you think Brexit was a political earthquake in British politics in 2016, well then you ain’t seen nothing yet, because there would be a major realignment of British political ahead of 2020 and some results that probably would be difficult for anybody at this moment to contemplate.
