“The UK being the 51st State is not something any of us desire or want at all.”
Reasoning & Evidence09 Jul 2026
Publicly, Farage and UKIP presented themselves as a sovereignty-first, anti-EU movement: UKIP’s constitution said Britain should cease to be a member of the EU and avoid treaties that surrender sovereignty, and UKIP says its fundamental purpose was to campaign for Britain to leave the EU and restore its status as an independent, sovereign nation. But the claim goes further by asserting that *any* of the relevant people did not want a "51st State" relationship; that is a broad statement about private desires inside a group, and public sources cannot verify it for every person implied by "us."

From article
That is something that Nick Clegg puts up occasionally, but it is not something that any of us desire or want at all. Our relationship with America – you know, we can choose. We can choose whether or not we sign extradition treaties or go to war. What we’re doing with Euope is giving away the ability to make those decisions.
