It's described as a euro-skeptic right-wing populist party.

Was this in Chile? Because that's where RP was this morning.

I'm skeptical of UKIP like any other political party -- but I think Nigel Farage is brilliant.

That's anti-federalism in Europe.

There is enough Austrian economics in that room to give Ben Bernanke a brain tumor.

That's awesome... I hope they can have an influence on Farage. He's not a huge Austrian but better than most politicians in Europe.

I love Nigel Farage, he is one of the very few politicians in the European Parliament to whom I can listen to. Excellent rhetoric and anti-federalist. I'm a Geman and we have very few good politicians because of our political system (very established-party-dominated, even more than in the US - you have only two (established) parties instead of our five, but its easier to go into politics as an outsider than here)

Farage is no right-wing politician in the sense of racism or xenophobic behaviour.

He's not, I'm pretty sure about that. But some in his party are. That's the problem with all "fringe" political groups, though. They attract all the people no other party wants to have. And not every enemy of my enemy is necessarily my friend.

I think he is ideologically pretty much a libertarian. But UKIP picks political issues that it can win. And UKIP has to walk the fine line of being labeled a protest vote and having no ideology or being called far-right.

I guess Jim Rogers doesn't consider himself a subscriber to Austrian economics either. More of a Rogers economic theorist.

I would have thought in Canada when they were both there, speaking at the same conference, but that was almost a month ago at this point.

Interesting. I wonder what a group like that was doing there? If they are starting something, they should let us know....
