      Because unlike the UK, America’s far right party is mainstream. We have UKIP and the BNP and nobody listens to them. People support the Republicans.

        I don’t think that I agree about no one listening to ukip. So their height they were picking up MPs at bi-elections and had about 13% of the vote at General. The fear the Tories had of them splitting the right vote in my opinion was a key reason why Cameron put the Brexit referendum into his 2015 manifesto.
