UKIP's far-right tendencies exposed - Liz Lynne

January 11, 2007 12:00 AM

Commenting on reports that a UK MEP, Ashley Mote who was elected on the UKIP ticket has now joined the new far right grouping in the European Parliament, Liz Lynne, Liberal Democrat MEP for the West Midlands, said:

"Finally the true nature of UKIP is exposed. One may think they are voting for anti-European sentiments by ticking the UKIP box, but this latest move by Ashley Mote shows a much darker and sinister side to the party.

Let's be absolutely clear, this new parliamentary group are fascists. Mr Mote's new colleagues include Jean Marie Le Pen and Alessandra Mussolini and its leader is on trial for holocaust-denial. This should be a wake up call for those in Britain considering voting for UKIP in future elections."
