UKIP leader Nigel Farage is expected to get a celebrity reception in Washington when he addresses America's most high-profile right-wing conference this week.
Sarah Palin, Rand Paul, Jeb Bush and the National Rifle Association (NRA) gun lobby will be sharing a stage with the British politician after he was invited to address the Conservative Political Action Committee in the US capital.
Aides told Sky News his philosophy has much in common with his republican hosts, who also focus on "the battle for smaller government and lower taxes and how an insurgent party can become bigger".
That will go down a storm with much of his audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which appeals to the right wing of the Republican party.
Tea party activists claim to have been fighting the same battle in the US....

Bush??? What the hell is he doing there? This is going to get mixed revues. I wonder how the conservatives will handle Farage?

We are so disorganized and disunited that we need to start from scratch. I hope UKIP sweeps all the other parties out the window.
In the States, we think America is ready for a Republican but I do not see anybody along the character of Nigel Farage in our ranks.

CPAC is organized by the beltway crowd that calls itself “conservative” and uses good conservative speakers to draw in a grassroots crowd to hear the RINO’s pretend to be conservative with their speeches.
Its sort of like Fox News Channel in a big room.

Nigel sez, UK out of the EU.
Nigel sez, Scotland don’t go!
A million or more Scottish voters will vote against UK exit from the EU.
