UKIP are
subversive and have found a way to gain respectability and a following from people who are anti-immigrant, anti-EU, etc etc etc. So their followers are extremely right-wing. In some respects, they are more right-wing and nationalistic than GD despite expertly downplaying this side of their politics. UKIP only sack members once they accidentally expose, to the media, the extreme fascism, racism, bullying, misogynistic and homophobic side of this party (usually when they make speeches whilst drunk!
). Farage is just hanging in there after a recent exposure (downplayed with big grins and guffaws, of course
).
GD get branded with a lot of stuff that they actually haven't done (some silly stuff in post above) because the left-wing politics in Greece is so strong. This is not true in the UK as even the "party in power" is racist and tells immigrants to "Go Home" ... among other things ...
