Shim, what motivates the electorate is hardly the fault of Mr Farage or his party, he has set out his argument against membership of the EU very well and also his opposition to unregulated immigration from EU countries.....This is not racism, and to infer that it is , is lazy and crass.

I remember the electorate voting en masse for a "liberal" Labour leader, who shamed us all by assisting the US in a war which cost many lives and left Iraq in a worse state than before.
We were never told of Mr Blair's intentions, the details of his deal with Bush have never been published. Don't talk to me about political manipulation!

We may not agree with Mr Farage, but he has been straight with the electorate and they seem to be responding.
