ENGLAND: The UK Independence Party, which came first in the 2014 European elections in Britain, has taken a turn to the far-right as it struggles to recover from a long slump in popularity.

At a campaign stop this week in the city of Exeter, Benjamin insisted he is a classical economic liberal in favour of limiting big government and immigration, and that UKIP's members are unfairly portrayed. He has drawn small crowds of typically young male supporters, while protesters have shown up at each stop, throwing a milkshake and raw fish at him on separate occasions.
