"above all others"? No.

The Majority of people in this Democracy have been increasingly concerned about unfettered imigration for years now.

Maybe? Doubt it.

The Majority of people in this Democracy have 'suffered in silence' while their elected representatives have persistently lied to them about immigration, or ignored their concerns.

No. The majority of people are too busy watching the X factor and drinking too much beer or wine to pay much attention.

The Majority are not stupid and do not 'swallow' everything that Farage is saying, nor do they necessarily agree with all elements of his party's manifesto

Correctish, but more correct:

The Majority are stupid but still do not 'swallow' anything that Farage is saying, nor do they necessarily agree with any of the elements of his party's manifesto

Not for this reason. They aren't a minority.

Bzzzzzt. Wrong.

Farage may prove to be a liar

Doubt he's a liar exactly, I'm sure he believes his own garbage. Most of this sort do.

The Majority in this Democracy may just be electing to ignore the disproportionate 'scare mongering' about Farage, and might just be seriously regarding him as the 'lesser of three evils'.

No.

Who knows; Farage and UKIP might just prove to be the best political party in the UK for 50 years

No.

They really, really could.
I'm not convinced you actually understand what the word "majority" means, Kirk. Nor, apparently, do you really comprehend how democracy works in a non-binary decision. To make it binary, remove all other considerations that split the vote. UKIP vs "anything but UKIP". UKIP is then a teeny, tiny minority. People are dumb. They're not THAT dumb. The MAJORITY of people know that Farage and Co are casually racist arseholes. Thankfully.
