Single-handedly he has restored passion, genuine debate and meaning to politics. Single-handedly he has reinvented British democracy........He has been labelled a racist and a fascist. There have been comparisons with Hitler. He has endured by far the most hostile press and media coverage of any mainstream politician in living memory......When he emerged as a force ten years ago,
Britain was governed by a cross-party conspiracy. It was impossible to raise the issue of immigration without being labelled racist, or of leaving the EU without being insulted as a fanatic. Mainstream arguments to shrink the size of the state, or even to challenge its growth were regarded as a sign of madness or inhumanity......The only voters that political modernisers cared about were those in Britain’s approximately 100 marginal seats .....In reality, it was the
British politicians who turned their back on the electorate, not the other way around. The voters were much less apathetic than the national politicians assumed....he has shown remarkable stamina and, most of all,
he has given British democracy back to the people it belongs to — the voters.http://www.spectator.co.uk/2014/05/ukips-triumph/
