UKIP, the Radical Right and the European Parliament Elections

Falling between the two debates between UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader Nigel Farage and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg on the issue of Britain's membership of the EU, the panel discuss public support for Euroscepticism in Britain and beyond and consider the broader impact of parties such as UKIP at the upcoming European Parliament elections in May.

They examine who is supporting parties like UKIP, why, and what the emergence of these radical right parties tells us about broader changes in Western societies.
