its a great term because you can bash off the leash capitalism, and some conservatives will actually listen because they think you're bashing liberals. It's also a good way of making it clear you're not necessarily a marxist

anyway ukip got 3.5 (apprx) million votes (out of about 40 mil), but hilariously only 1 mp. this basically shows that populist far right support is not particularly concentrated anywhere and rather it was thinly spread clusters of supporters across the uk. or village idiots, if you're feeling catty.

to be fair it's more or less the same story for the greens.

back on topic, remember the BNP? a more classically far right, gay hating jew baiting party - who stunned a lot of people by copping half a million votes in 2005. Well they scored just 1667 votes this time, in one case beaten by a candidate from a party called "cannabis is safer than alcohol".

hmm... its almost as if they all flocked to some other party! ahem

anyway, further evidence imo of the rebranding of the far right as populist muslim bashing as opposed to quote unquote democrats attempting to trojan neo nazism into the mainstream
