I don't think Leave voters are necessarily racist or xenophobic.
Careful now. You have to call them fascists or you might get flamed. But yes I agree with that asessment. R4 are currently interviewing welsh voters who have switched from Labour to the Tories. One said "They used to be the party of the rich, but I don't think that is the case any more". May is succesfully getting her message across, however deceitful it is. I don't think we have a fucking hope in hell in June.

UKIP lose all 30 seats that were up in the local council elections.
Funny by itself, but not in terms of what it means for the possibility of splitting the Tory vote.
I might go and campaign for UKIP in marginal Tory/Labour seats.
I don't think Leave voters are necessarily racist or xenophobic. I think a lot of it comes down to disenfranchisement and being unhappy with the current situation but feeling unable to change it through traditional Westminster politics.
