Just what kind of animal is UKIP? Libertarian? Tea Party type? Liberal in the old way ?............................
Garage has often stated that if he had lived in the 19th Century, he would have been a Gladstonian Liberal. I think they would best be described as classical Liberals or Whigs.
It is a Tea Party esque Party which draws support from across the political spectrum, although predominantly conservatives.
If you get a chance check out some Nigel Farage videos on Youtube.
I am starting a UKIP ping list for those interested. Just let me know if you want on.
