They also are quite diverse in their views. Farage and UKIP are truly traditional “liberals” in the Edmund Burke sense - free trade, liberty for citizens, localized control, small government. They are anti-immigration because they know this is how leftists intend to cement the nanny-state in place.
Le Pen and the National Front are quite different. She’s pro union, pro welfare-state, pro-central planning. She seems almost socialist in that regard.
They only thing that unites them are their dislike of the EU superstate, and the wish to preserve their traditional cultures.

And how are they SOCIALLY? Where do these people stand on abortion, gay marriage, LGBT rights, transgender bathrooms, legalization of marijuana, etc. ?
