recent events have made it quite clear that the tory party is institutionally racist and has been for a long time. i thought they had been forced to go more right wing and divisive to ensure the support of the extremists in ukip but they probably didn't need any help to get there. it's weird and very depressing that so many people in our countries can't see these people for what they are. or maybe they do understand and are quite happy to vote for incompetent wreckers and more cruelty to groups they do not approve of or even pretend to help. maybe not 'stupid or easily led' - just unpleasant, narrow minded and vindictive
