LONDON -- A pro-Brexit comedian is on a quest to top the U.K.âs music charts in an attempt to frustrate those who want the United Kingdom to remain in the European Union.
Dominic Frisby is campaigning to get to the top of the charts, while those in favour of staying in the EU make the push for Beethovenâs âOde to Joy,â which is the anthem of the EU.
âI don't think I'm going to win,â Frisby told CTV's Chief News Anchor and Senior Editor Lisa LaFlamme. âIt's little old me against a European colossus. It's just like Brexit.â
As of Thursday evening, Dutch violinist Andre Rieuâs version of Ode to Joy sat in the top spot of the Amazonâs U.K. music charts, while versions of Frisbyâs song sit second and third.
On iTunes, Rieuâs song is second behind "Blinding Lights" from Canadian R&B singer The Weeknd. Frisbyâs song is fourth.
Frisby told LaFlamme that he supports Brexit because "I'm Libertarian in my politics and we're removing a layer of government.â
âThe less government you have in your life, the better your life.â
