A cross-Channel marriage between Nigel Farage and Marine Le Pen?

No more "Hokey Cokey" says the UKIP leader

From Eric Dondero:

Nigel Farage, leader of the Tea Party/libertarian-like UK Independence was interviewed by The Spectator two days before local elections nationwide. One of his questions came on France's version of UKIP. Farage called Marine Le Pen "a very, very interesting figure, fascinating. She’s different..."

Though acknowledging that her Party has a lot of "baggage" from the past, Farage went on to praise her new direction:

Her euroscepticism is genuine, more so than her father’s certainly: he used to do the hokey-cokey with us: one minute a friend, the next cast into outer dark.

It’s encouraging to hear her say the things she says on immigration and repatriating power

Marine Le Pen comes along and she says a lot of things that are different, she even said in the Telegraph over the New Year that wants to model her party on Ukip not the BNP.

Le Pen was quoted from the London Telegraph, Dec. 26, 2010:

The FN, she insisted, was neither racist nor xenophobic but simply a "patriotic" party with more in common with Britain's Ukip and its "opposition to the totalitarian character of the EU and its desire to remove people's sovereignty"
