BBC reporter visits new dutch politician Fortuyn, and makes a comparision with him and Le Pen from France…

<quote> Pim Fortuyn and Jean Marie Le Pen may be very different men, but the reasons people vote for them are the same: fear and alienation.
“You may not be a racist but the people who vote for you are,” I said to Mr Fortuyn.
“So what?” came the reply.”Why they vote for me is irrelevant, but if they do they’re in safe hands.” And with that he smiled a big, slow self-satisfied smile. <endquote>
