Nigel Farage can do one

| UPDATED

68 per cent of Brighton voted to Remain in the recent EU referendum, despite the popular vote going to Leave. 

The popular vote was 52-48 to Leave, but Brighton recorded a pro-EU majority of more than two-to-one. Sixty-eight per cent of Brighton and Hove voted to Remain in the EU, with just thirty-one per cent voting to leave it.

Brighton followed other major liberal cities and student centres by voting Remain, joined by Oxford, Edinburgh and Bristol. The most pro-EU place in the entire country wasn’t actually in the country, with 95 per cent of Gibraltar voting to Remain in the EU.
