Snippets from Prater interview: European Parliament results

In the second audio instalment of my interview with Kent County Councillor Tim Prater, he discussed what could have fueled the increase in the voter turnout for two non-Westminster parties, UKIP and the BNP.

Prater discusses the basic premise behind two parties and how to best counter "Politics of Fear"

The third instalment will touch on his and fellow Liberal Democrats' successful efforts to convince the UK government to allow Gurkhas from Nepal who served in the British Army to settle legally in the UK, regardless of when their service was. I've opted to make this last as the Gurkhas will march through Folkestone in a "Freedom of Town" parade honouring them next Thursday.
