Neoliberalism, Brexit (and Bernie)

UKIP is the problem. They have hijacked the political process and no-one knows what they mean which is exactly what they want. Even George Osborne this morning was saying clamping down on racism is one of the primary concerns of the government now. What does ‘control by the people’ mean parliamentary sovereignty, popular sovereignty or direct democracy? Do UKIP supporters understand the distinction between civic nationalism which the party espouses publicly and ethnic nationalism, or their belief that Welsh, Irish and Scottish nationhoods are false nationhoods which seems to negate any distinction between English and British?

Farage was on TV last night saying he has not yet gone far enough until there is total withdrawal from Europe and today he has been threatening the European Parliament that it will be worse for you than it will be for us if you don’t give us exactly what we want.
