What does UKIP have to do to be a David Duke? Since it clearly has no problem associating with the David Dukes of the world and has prominent EP politicians who came from organizations David Duke would be proud to be a member of. Face it, there is very little that you find extreme on the right side of the spectrum short of goose-stepping pencil mustachioed brown shirted paramilitaries. I mean you've argued that Santorum, a guy who openly advocates assassination and terrorism as a policy vs Iran and thinks the Crusades were a great example of how the west should behave in the Middle East, is a reasonable conservative.
I'm not arguing that the Tory leadership is far-right, but the leadership and Tory backbench are two different animals. The Tory leadership has tried to some degree to shed the party of its cold Thatcherite baggage. Although I'd hardly say that Mr. "Calm Down, Dear" is enlightened on the question of gender. The party's leadership happily claims that women are to blame for unemployment and wrecking the family. The reason why Cameron has reversed course on short lists is because it is painfully clear that his party is almost universally male and white (only 4 women in the cabinet, only one who is an ethnic minority), which to be fair is also a problem for the Lib Dems. I'm not getting your point on the Scotland issue, as its clear the Tories are trying to dictate to the Scots the terms of the referendum, so how is that out of step with old Toryism again? The fact that his meddling is increasing support for independence speaks to the stupidity of his government, not to the Tories sudden love for Scottish self-determination. If not for Tory interference, nobody would even be talking about this referendum.
