 This isn't a political party for the sane, rational, and educated. 
 Well, from a cynical perspective, it's a party designed by the smart 
 and ruthless to appeal to the not-so-smart or not-so-devious to get 
 them to support a political agenda that is inimical to their personal 
 interests. 
And this, as I remember, is precisely Paul Krugman's central argument in "The
Conscience of a Liberal", except that he thinks racist politics in the U.S.
has played a major role in encouraging people to vote against their own best
interests.

I think we've discussed that here before, so I'll leave it there.
