So, the man that orchestrated the biggest political crisis in post-war European history has jumped ship. Just like the ones before him. Many said that David Cameron did the honourable thing in stating his intention to resign as UK Prime Minister. He did not. David Cameron committed political suicide. He promised his own Tory party a referendum that there was no public clamour for. He merely promised it to cement his own leadership. When that all went belly up, Mr Cameron resigned because it was an unofficial vote of no confidence.

Then came the about turn by Boris Johnson. The man who was only recently in favour of the ‘remain’ vote turned on his party leader, and indeed, his people after a dinner date with Michael Gove and his wife.

Gove repeatedly stated that he would not run for Prime Minister or party leader, saying that he did not have what it takes. Only hours after the result, he turned on Boris Johnson and said he did not have faith in his ability to lead the party or to be Prime Minister.

And that leads us to Nigel Farage, who yesterday announced his retirement and resigned as leader of the UK Independence Party. Many say that he was part of the quartet that somehow engineered the biggest threat to the UK, and the EU that anyone can remember. Although he has wrought absolute devastation in terms of political and economic uncertainty, he has been consistent.  But no one expected the latest twist. Many have called him spineless, especially with him saying that he now “wants his life back”.

But what about the 16 million plus British citizens who also want their lives back as EU citizens? The whole campaign was built on lies and deceit, and as Mark Twain once put it: “A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” Except hat in today’s warped world of social media, that has been exacerbated further.

So in short, Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson, David Cameron and Michael Gove are Fantastic Four who have denied millions of young Britons a prosperous future in the European Union. The only difference with Gove is that he hid his own personal ambitious agenda to try and become Prime Minister of the UK. Well, what will be left of it, once Scotland and Northern Ireland seek pastures new, within the EU.

Political experts in the UK are now saying that the UK needs to have a general election before the infamous Article 50 can be triggered to formally begin the UK’s process to leave the European Union.

Yet more expense and yet more upheaval as a political system in shambles and totally consumed by internecine battles fight it out at the polls. There are no clear leaders in the making on either side of the political fence. There seems to be no one that can steer the UK towards a Brexit, and there also seems to be no one who can unify the fractured kingdom into some sort of semblance of a functioning country which has the fifth largest economy in the world. What has the UK done to itself?
