Abstract:This paper makes a distinctive contribution to the academic literature on the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) by focusing in on the political rhetoric of Nigel Farage in relation to his Conference speeches. Our first research question asks how his Conference speeches are constructed and delivered and identifies what rhetorical techniques are deployed to maximise their impact. In methodological terms we address this question through rhetorical political analysis (RPA). Our second research question examines the extent to which his Conference speeches are changing. We ask whether there is evidence that Farage is broadening the range of issue appeals within his rhetoric (as one would expect if UKIP were making the transition from an antiestablishment to a mainstream party). Our method for this involves the use of N-Vivo -a computer coding programme -which quantifies which policies and issues are being used within speeches. Overall we argue that his speeches rely on hyperbole and evoking fear via the use of opposites, and that his rhetorical appeals remain narrowly defined around issues of identity.

“…That ideas are a vital component of any argumentative context is recognised by the existing scholarship on British political rhetoric (e.g. Atkins, 2010, 2011; Atkins and Finlayson, 2013; Crines, 2013; Finlayson, 2012; Finlayson and Martin, 2008), to which this article seeks to contribute.…”

Speaking at the 2012 Labour Party Conference, Ed Miliband set out his vision of ‘One Nation’. This article maps the core concepts of Labour's ideology and identifies the narratives used to argue for One Nation social security reform. It locates these narratives within Labour's traditions and demonstrates that they coalesce in the leadership persona of Miliband himself. Though an attempt to respond to a populist ‘rhetorical culture’, the article contends that this strategy has created a self‐enclosed ideology that cannot conceive of an audience beyond itself. Labour therefore needs to overcome this solipsism if it is to secure victory in 2015.

“…Empirical studies agree on the importance of charismatic leadership to populists' success. George Galloway, leader of the Respect Party, was found to use charisma to patch up contradictory arguments (Clark et al, 2008;Crines, 2013). Former EDL leader Tommy Robinson and former UKIP leader-in-waiting Robert Kilroy Silk were found to use charisma to gain media coverage and obtain internal party cohesion (on the EDL, see Oaten, 2014; on the UKIP, see Fella, 2008).…”
