But I very much doubt that he's going to give up his extreme views as he grows in maturity. I mean, look at the likes of Farage and Tice.

Their decision to work with this odious little idiot merely underlines the fact that they don't find his views incompatible with their own.
Sadly, we may sleepwalk into a government that is led by these people. It's terrifying.
