Nigel is usually 'spot-on' regarding EU affairs, but when in the States last week, I caught part of his comments on the election here and his statement in favor of Romney and how he needs to stand up for his accomplishments rang a hollow bell of being sorely misinformed. He seems to think, like so many others, that things will change, be different when the next puppet is installed. Yet he knows this is false in Europe, so why does he think it's any different across the Pond? I had to turn it off and roll my eyes.

"I had to turn it off and roll my eyes."

For a non-UK resident it's very easy to misread Nigel Farage. UKIP are basically tories that think of themselves as "proper tories". They dislike The EU, probably because it's not right wing enough for them, but will play down that fact in favour of a lot of huff and puff about "democracy", "sovereignty" etc.
