They are the most right wing you can get without falling over, and are only just managing to maintain a veil of respectability...just.

I do think and hope even moreso that the UKIP mask is slipping now and as more scrutiny is applied to them, more of these 'views' become apparant.
Which in turn also exposes what some of those in the Conservative party would like to see done too, hence 2 defections to and former Conservative voters backing UKIP.

The mask too, of blaming everything, no matter what it may be, on being in the EU and on immigration is now going from the sublime to the ridiculous.
