After the Brexit referendum, British Euroscepticism took on a different form and character. The former leader of the Eurosceptics, N. Farage, was less concerned with the opinions of his supporters after the main goal of Britain’s exit from the EU was achieved, without offering new goals to his voters. Analysing the activities of N. Farage after 2016, the author of the article concludes that the goals and activities of Britain’s main Eurosceptic were and are coloured by populist ideas and slogans.
