Mr. Farage is obviously hyperbolic and populist, i post this more as a student of politics. This guy has clearly taken more than one page from the playbook of the Republican party. Make as much noise as you possibly can to get yourself reelected.

Having said that, he does make some valid points. I am an EU sceptic myself.

Also check out this video from February where he rips the new EU president a new one.

1. Just remember the UKIP policies

Reduce everyone’s taxes with a 31% flat tax
Axe Britain’s gigantic quango mountain and public sector non-jobs to reduce UK national debt
Release businesses from 120,000 EU laws
Triple the number of UK Borders Agency staff engaged in controlling immigration (to 30,000)
Demand zero tolerance on crime and double prison places to assure this
Boost the military budget by 40% so our armed forces are properly equipped
Give parents ‘School Vouchers’ so they can choose between schools - state or private
Ban the burka and veiled niqab in public buildings and certain private buildings

And don't forget how barking mad, and consistently dishonest, their deputy leader is: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/sep/21/climate-scientists-christopher-monckton

2. If this guy was American, he'd be on the very far right of the Republican Party

I have no idea what he's doing on a forum like this.

Repulsive man.

3. Like i said in the text

..as a student of politics. It's quite clear that right wingers in Europe are using the same strategies in their argumentation etc as the Republicans.

However i do agree with his EU scepticism. I suspect that his motives are different than mine.


Should we only post videos of people we agree with?
