Is the UK Independence Party (UKIP) libertarian? If so, do they have anything to learn from us? Will it last or fade? Nigel Farage talks about creating an earthquake in British politics. I hope he does. The countrys complacent social democratic establishment needs a reminder of who works for whom, and whatever the ultimate flavor of UKIPs politics, exit from the EU will likely do more for British liberty than any other single policy currently supported by any party. But an earthquake is a rather short-lived event. What really matters is whether that political earthquake remakes Britains political landscape for good - in both senses of that word. And that will depend on whether UKIP really is Britains first classical liberal alternative since Thatcher.
