> 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)

UKIP is a single-issue party. It rarely happens for single issue parties, but, well, they won - not "to within a reasonable approximation" or whatever copout one might come up with, they won flat out. The dog caught the tail. Nobody knows what's next; this part was never in the script. There's a chance UKIP will morph into conservatives-in-the-north (where, for context, the Conservative party hasn't really been competitive for a couple of decades mostly because of the Thatcher legacy, but UKIP actually is), but I honestly wouldn't bet on it. They're simply not wired for being a 'real' party.
