Farage was a prominent supporter of the successful campaign for a vote in favor of leaving the E.U.
Once Article 50 is triggered and the EU issues a formal response, an eight-week process to set guidelines will take place. Actual negotiations almost certainly won’t begin until June at the earliest.
