see, i think labour ought to be using the xenophobia as a wedge issue. if it becomes the ballot question, it could both help ukip split the vote and increase the turnout by both creating a movement amongst often non-voters and really riling up the base.
it requires some careful framing, but there's no issue more populist than fighting xenophobia.
maybe some hard numbers from internal polling might make me rethink it. but, if it were me, my thought process would be something like "what do i care if i piss off some white trash tory voters?".
i know, not very statespersonlike. whatever. politics is a dirty business.
