Brexit Representation

The main image shows Nigel Farage looking very happy and celebrating. This combines with the headline of 'We're Out!' to emphasise the happiness that is felt by leaving the EU.

Furthermore, language such as 'UK freed from the shackles of EU' suggests that the UK was held back by the EU. This is showing the ideologies of this newspaper - they believe the EU was bad.

However, this idea is contrasted by 'Leave surge sends pound to a 31-year low' which is showing the negative aspects of leaving the EU.

The main ideologies of the newspaper seem to be for Brexit. The phrase 'stunning victory' suggests how this is a big win for the UK and there are more negative than positives to come out of this.

The paper may be using stereotypes of people who are 'Europhile' are likely to vote remain. They write that the area where Nick Clegg's consituency is, 'voted out in a shock result'. Including lines like this in the article can reinforce the ideas that brexit is good as the area where a lover of the EU is, voted leave.
