Nigel Farage: thinks a national healthcare program should exist

Yes. Farage is a Putin plant, and Putin sat at the same table as Jill Stein and Michael Flynn at an RT dinner. QED, UKIP, the Republicans, the Green Party, and United Russia are all one and the same. As you said, obvs.

Yes, and Margaret Thatcher would be a key member of the Leading Light Communist Organization because of her strong support of Comrade Pol Pot.

Yes, but he would have been a Republican prior to 1932, because the GOP was the left wing party back then.

The funny thing is he very well conceivably could be. He's also a strong supporter of the Greens favorite world leader, Vladimir Putin, and Jill Stein was a supporter of Brexit.

Which ones, LePen, Farage, Orban, the leaders of Lega, Golden Dawn, Jobbik, Vlaams B, PVV, AfD, FPÖ?

Mostly thinking le pen. Shes pro tariff, pro bank nationalization, pro "profits tax", pro monetizing debt, anti privatization, pro ag subsidies, anti nuclear energy, etc. Its not unusual for certain stripes of people on the left to want immigration controls. If le pen was a republican here she would never survive a primary unless she lived in some weird district that was only voting for the niche issue. Shes more George Wallace than George W Bush. Not saying shes a perfect fit for the democrats but I think that if someone with identical positions were to hold elected office here it would be as a democrat.

Certainly the U.S. Greens are better suited to him than our own (which have kind of given the impression of being a leftier version of the Lib Dems since last June).

It's also not unusual for certain people on the right to support tariffs and farm subsidies. Le Pen would probably be closer to Trump than any modern elected Democrat, though she is obviously a very poor fit for either party.

French (and overall European) New Right isn't exactly fond of fiscal conservatism and lassiez-faire, which doesn't make them left-wing.

With regards to most "economic issues" most parties like PVV, FN, One Nation, UKIP and their ilk simply view it as unimportant window dressing compared to vital issues like mandatory pork in classrooms or whatever. They normally have a few populist elements recruited from all over the spectrum, but it all is a bit unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

Even the most "economically right-wing" of the lot the Norwegian Progress Party, basically have as their economic policy "exactly the same welfare state you like, but we cut taxes and make up for it by using the oil revenue as a slush fund rather than save it up like losers". Which you might realise is the same policy of Hugo Chavez.

UKIP has a very wide range of positions across the spectrum, some liberal, but no its ridiculous to say he would be a member of the Greens.

No, he'd be too left-wing for them. Theresa May would be a Green, Farage would be more... like.. CPUSA.
CPUSA endorsed Hillary Clinton. Cheesy
