The findings confirm that Farage and his party are being driven by supporters who share a very distinct social profile and are driven by clear set of motives. Support is more than twice as high among people aged over 55 years old than it is among those under 35, and is twice as high among those in working-class occupations as it is among those in salaried managerial and professional positions (though there is also support for Ukip among small employers and the self-employed). Those who identify themselves as English, who have not been to university and are white are the most likely to endorse Farage (less than half a per cent of people who describe themselves as black or Asian support Ukip). And when it comes to motives, these are voters who are intensely anxious about Britain's relationship with Europe and immigration.
