We clashed over a number of issues - principally gay marriage - but the central point of disagreement was over whether an Ed Miliband-led government is a price worth paying to give Dave a bloody nose. Farage doesn't come right out and say it, but he more or less accepts that it is. He claimed there's so little difference between Miliband and Cameron that if the split on the Right does lead to a Labour government it won't be a great catastrophe. I don't accept this. In critical policy areas - public borrowing, welfare, education - there's clear blue water between the two main parties. In particular, Cameron has promised an In/Out EU referendum in the next Parliament - a promise I believe he'd keep - whereas Miliband hasn't. This, to my mind, is the toughest question for Farage: Is your loathing of Cameron so great that you're prepared to risk what may well be our last chance to get out of the EU? By the time Miliband leaves office in 2020, it may well be too late to extricate ourselves from the EU, such is the ever-expanding, octopus-like grip of Brussels.
