He was joined by Annunziata Rees-Mogg on his walk through the city and she was pleased with the turnout.


She said: "It's been a great turnout ahead of this evening and it's gone really well.

"I think it shows how disillusioned people have become with the two main players in party politics by failing to leave the European Union."

The Brexit Party's policy is simply for the UK to leave the EU.

Britain would trade under World Trade Organisation rules, governing tariffs and other issues if it left the EU without a deal.

The party currently has 14 MEPs, all of whom used to be members of UKIP.

Supporters at the rally Roy Dewsnap, and Alison Davis, gave their thoughts on the Brexit Party.

Roy said: "They are supporting the return of democracy following the events of the governments inactivity to deliver the result of the referendum.

"From my point of view, I'm interested in returning control of our all walls.

"The remain parties have gone back on that promise."


Allison said: "The subverting democracy by saying we don't agree with the result of the referendum is fogging the issue.

"The fact that people are arguing for a second referendum just because they don't agree with the outcome of the first.

"Saying the first vote isn't good enough and doing them again and again until the government is happy with the result, that to me isn't democracy and doesn't represent any democracy that I'm aware of."

Across the country voters became disillusioned across the country with Conservatives and Labour losing a number of seats in local elections.

Roy said: "I think out here in the sticks, there is a huge amount of resentment and anger and a building feeling that something has to be done.

"All the decisions, that are wrong ones, are being taken inside the M25."


Allison said: "I think there's an assumption that people aren't well informed and I really do think that.

"I don't know if there's a north south divide but people did know what they were voting for and are actively involved in politics.

I'm actively involved and I like to know what I'm voting for so the idea that people are stupid and they've just put a cross on a sheet of paper is nonesense.

"I know a lot of people on either side who don't want that second referendum so I'm not hearing the people who want a second vote.

"It's also the case of then what?

"Do you discount the first 17.4 million people who voted because they then didn't get the result that they want."


Roy added: "As Nigel Farage always says you cannot have a second referendum until you've implemented the result of the first."
