MOSCOW (Sputnik) Lawmakers in the European Union imposed a political union on Britons, who rejected the bloc last week, the United Kingdom’s leading Eurosceptic campaigner and party leader Nigel Farage said Tuesday.

"The biggest problem you’ve got and the main reason the United Kingdom voted the way that it did is you have – by stealth, by deception, without ever telling the truth to the British or the rest of the peoples of Europe – you have imposed upon them a political union," Farage told EU lawmakers.

The UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader accused the lawmakers of imposing the EU treaty "through the back door" nearly a decade ago despite 2005 referendums in France and the Netherlands to reject the Lisbon Treaty.

"What happened last Thursday was indeed a seismic result… What the ordinary people did is they rejected the multinationals, they rejected the merchant banks, they rejected big politics, and they said ‘actually, we want our country back’," Farage stressed, forecasting further independence votes post-Brexit.
