Nigel Farage

If an idea is indeed sensible, it will eventually become just part of the accepted wisdom.

When people stand up and talk about the great success that the EU has been, I'm not sure anybody saying it really believes it themselves anymore.

I think that politics needs a bit of spicing up.

It's about businesses nervous about taking on school leavers because of a mass of red tape. It's about health and safety regulations and green fines.

The banking collapse was caused, more than anything, by bad government policy and the total failure of bad regulation, rather than by greed.

It's a European Union of economic failure, of mass unemployment and of low growth.

It's amazing how ideas start out, isn't it?

Perhaps our own opposition to even the level of European integration we have now, let alone any more, is well known.
