If UKIP wants to revolutionize England & Wales' politics domestically as it did on the eu issue, it needs to turn its populist fire on the Liblabcon's 50 year foreign immigration invasion, with a policy of the UK adopting the Japanese immigration system. This, if packaged cleverly, will have the voters flocking to vote for it. If it doesn't it's not going anywhere. & all this trivial nonsense about Mohammedanism, odd-bods from Youtube & hanging around with football hooligans ("Democratic Football Lads Alliance" - give me a break!) needs to stop as well, it's making UKIP look like trivial obsessive cranks. What's worrying about this interview is that it seems clear that Batten really just wants to focus on the eu, & is almost hoping that the Referendum result is betrayed, & appears to have very little else of substance beyond that issue. With genuine Brexiteers in the Conservative Party in parliament now, who are in the ascendancy, Batten doesn't appear to understand that UKIP no longer possesses that electoral USP as it once did, and will face diminishing returns by continuing to be exclusively about this issue. I'm not sure this guy, as good a stout-hearted Anglo-Saxon yeoman as he seems, has the mental minerals or education to direct a re-alignment in the Kingdom's politics that is so badly needed.And with advocating, as he has been recently, a foreign migration quota of 50 000 as year, i.e. 1/2 million every decade, on top of those that are already here, he doesn't appear to understand the nature of the threat that this entails, which is far greater than a religion (& it is a religion, it's not an "ideology") from Arabia.
