> Can someone explain this part of Brexit. Nigel Farage resigns in July 2016 after he wins the vote. Why? Says he did "his job" and didn't want to be a career politician (according to Wiki)

> Then earlier this month he stepped back in as party leader of UKIP after his replacement was forced(?) out/unable to garner support?

He didn't want to be the one holding the bag once brexit had passed, so he skipped town for a while, let others handle the early fallout then came back fresh as a rose with little to no blame.

The man's a shit-weasel.
