Content: Ukip has been criticised as a Right-wing party. Yet for grass-root voters it represents the people Labour has long left behind: the backbone of Britain. These are the people who, for idealistic reasons of their own might never contemplate voting Tory but who equally could not stomach Mr Miliband’s Labour government, in all likelihood propped up by the SNP. As one of many examples, take the resilient fishing port of Grimsby. Much maligned and often ignored by London, it is in towns like this that the real sea change is taking place. For 45 years it has been safe Labour. By this time next week it could be have a Ukip MP thanks to an understanding of how immigration and EU laws, not least on the vital fishing industry, are central to residents’ lives. We could not put it more eloquently than one Grimsby market trader: “ Nigel Farage still seems to be in touch with people like myself.”
