Wants solutions, votes UKIP.
I agree with the issues but I honestly have no idea why people think Farage has solutions. So people rebel against "career politicians" (fair enough), don't want Labour as they feel forgotten (also correct in some areas) and forget about the Green party cos that's too progressive/educated/liberal/whatever.
There's a strong correlation between traditional/regressive/whatever you call them values and Brexit, and those groups won't vote for the Greens. Same in Norn Ire. So you need somebody who is seen as "one of us" without the whole regressiveness of no women's rights, no international cooperation, no multiculturalism and so on. Not an easy feat...

Because he told them he did. Then he ran away and quit before he had to deliver them, just like the other Brexiteers. It's easy to tell people what they want to hear if you don't have moral qualms about then not delivering.

If you've been following the EU referendum thread then you may have seen the conclusion that they're all racist idiots.
Labour still has a chance in these areas, there are a lot of people with long memories of Thatcher which rules out the tories. People want to know what politicians are going to do to help them out of poverty now.
Parties like UKIP have played up to this, they've focused on immediate concerns. Labour, and Corbyn in particular, are viewed as more concerned about their position on Cuba rather than the bloke in Blackpool.
Whether they've not got that message across because that isn't their message or because the media hasn't carried it is another issue.
