Andy Duncan shares with Jeff Deist the fact that even the UKIP (UK Independent Party) is really just a slightly better version of the Conservative Party. More Statism. More warmongering. No true freemarket, only more Corporate Cronyism.
And then there is the absurdity of the democratic system, where tens of millions of people are "represented" by a couple of hundred.
Jeff Deist and Andy Duncan discuss the rise of UKIP in England, and whether it represents a real populist anti-state uprising or just rightist politics. Andy skewers the strutting political class in London, and the charade of voting Labour or Conservative based on minute policy differences. They also discuss the upcoming Scottish independence vote, and whether the land that gave us Robert the Bruce and David Hume has succumbed completely to socialism. Could an independent Scotland become the Singapore of the North, or just another Eurozone basket case?
