Why did Brexit Happen? | Steven Woolfe | TEDxOxbridge

Tapping into insights amassed during his double bid to become the leader of the UKIP party, as well as his career as a Member of the European Parliament, Woolfe explains why he thinks Brexit happened. Noting a widening gap across social classes, he explores the ways in which underprivileged majorities are asserting their power.
Steven Woolfe gained a law degree at Aberystwyth University and began his career at chambers in Inner Temple. He worked as a lawyer in the City of London with over 20 years of nan- cial services, legal and compliance regulatory experience and spent his last few years in the city as general counsel to hedge fund managers.
Woolfe joined politics to campaign for Brexit and Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union. He joined the UK Independence Party (UKIP) in 2011 and served as the leading frontbench spokesman for Immigration, Financial Affairs and Economics. In July 2014, he was elected as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for the North West of England.
In October 2016, Woolfe resigned his membership of UKIP and currently sits as an Independent MEP.
