I wouldn't touch UKIP with a barge pole. To me they BNP-Lite, the party of prejudice for racists in denial.
Can you back up that assertion or is it just you smearing the opposition?
UKIP are nothing remotely like the BNP (from economic policies to social policies to integration policies to national identity policies) and I'm sure the Muslim members and candidates we have (one of the most popular candidates in east Lancashire, an area that has experienced its fair share of racial tension, is a Muslim) would be absolutely bewildered by the assertion that UKIP are racists in denial.
But I suppose wanting sovereignty over your own country and being able to set your own laws (like most other democratic nations) is 'racist'.
It just goes to show that the hysterical left are increasingly losing the argument. Can't say we're surprised.
In practice, hysteria - along with obsessiveness, bullying and control of the discourse - has been helping the left win so many of their arguments for so long, not truth or logic.
In any case, conservatives conceded a very important argument to the left decades ago when they decided life would just be easier if they agreed with the left's insistence that there is something so very immoral about White people pursuing their groups interests as White people.
And if people think it's so very wrong to "discriminate" in favour of ones own kin, ones own flesh and blood (as healthy humans and other living things have always done), then it's not surprising many people start thinking all other sorts of "discrimination" must be bad too. Why should we have a single national language? Isn't that discriminatory? Why should we have national borders? Why should schoolkids in British schools spend so much time on British history? How dare people display the flag of St George! How dare bed and breakfast owners decide who to admit into their own premises!
Groups (e.g., conservatives) that are majority White and that pursue policies that align (however unintentional it may be) with White interests (e.g., euroscepticism among others) will get called racist anyway. Conservatives who think that gently provoking the left will get them to see the error of the ways are mistaken. The left will not stop hacking away at the pillars of civilized life until there is nothing left.
