When the UKIP leader addressed the YouGov conference
recently, his speech was monitored by a Dial Test. It was played to 1,100
people split evenly between supporters and detractors.
The supporters
supported him 99 per cent. But interestingly, 42 per cent of detractors
supported him as well, and 38 per cent of detractors had a more favourable view
of the UKIP leader after they had heard him speak.
That sort of result is rare in politics, and suggests the main parties will bite their own tails off rather than let Nigel Farage into any leaders' TV debate.
