In case you haven't the time to view the entire video, this quote from the Tory/Labour interview-ees who expressed quite a bit of concern answers your question . . .
- "UKIP has the highest percentage of working class supporters

“”UKIP has the highest percentage of working class supporters”
Thank you for the follow-up. I won’t get to the video before Saturday. Unfortunately, I think the “working class” is a rapidly diminishing segment.

Additionally, here are some additional notes from the documentary:
- 28:33 Farage: "Every pub is a parliament" where hard working, taxpaying responsible adults congregate and discuss politics. The local pub patrons consider the state is too big, too bossy, too greedy and voters want/need to lift the shackles of taxation & regulation because responsible voters willingly borrow money & take risks since wealth isn't created by governments, it is created people. The common sense of a saloon bar believes saving is better than borrowing and we should live within our means.
- 71% of UKIP supporters are independent minded 50+ years of age who believe in self reliance & utterly rejects political correctness
- 35:00 re: immigration issues, described by political opponents as 36:20 another Hitler, or as David Cameron describes Farage's supporters as lunatics, fruitcakes &/or secret racists.
- 38:00 Farage suggests future immigrants will need a work visa. They will have to support themselves and their families for five years before becoming eligible for welfare benefits, free health care & free education.
- 38:28 Farage: "We as a party are not opposed to immigration. We are not opposed to immigrants.
- 44:52 discusses the question of a potential electoral pact between Tory EU Skeptics & UKIP. . .Farage's answer: absolutely no.
- 45:15 illustrates how political opposition threats to Tory/Labour hegemony are disposed of by incumbents...by temporarily embracing the issues making the opposition popular to undermine the opposition's political platform.
