Here are a few policies from their website.

We will re-embrace today’s fast-growing Commonwealth and we will encourage UK manufacturing so that we make things again.

Encourage UK manufacturing that's very good. But it would be far far far more effective to do this within the EESC environment, which UKIP oppose. I doubt UKIP would ever act on this promise in a successful manner. They are to narrow minded on an international level to do so.

We will freeze immigration for five years, speed up deportation of up to a million illegal immigrants by tripling the numbers engaged in deportations, and have ‘no home no visa’ work permits to ease the housing crisis.

This is just plain stupid top say the least. What the hell is deporting immigrants and freezing immigration going to achieve? Nothing, that's what. An extremist solution to a small problem. you are just hindering progress politically, socially and economically. Xenophobia never solved anything.

We will give people the vote on policing priorities

This is very dangerous to say the least. Did someone say vigilantism and soaring crime rates? let the proffesionals handle this.

We will scrap Inheritance Tax

Fair enough, I'm for that. Or at least lower inheritance tax. But it hadly fits in with their larger plan does it?

We will support our armed forces with more spending on equipment, military homes and medical care. We will save our threatened warships and add 25,000 more troops.

More support for the military? We are fighting two wars that we are losing. Why not just pull out of them, it would be far more effective and we would not have to waste money on unwinnable wars. We wouldn't need 25,000 extra troops and expanded military medicical care if we just cut our losses and left.

Do you have any problems with any of these? I know alot of people think there ban immigration for 5 years is considered racist by some but it in my opinion its certainly isnt.

They have traditionally supported policies and i see them as very achievable and popular.

 

 

They do have a few good policies, but many of them are just plain unrealistic or rather silly (grammer school in every town? please deliver that promise without running out of money lol). Also, leaving the EU would be a mistake IMO.

Your guessing UKIP wouldnt act. Not convincing.

Obviously illegal imigrants should not be in this country. I say as many immigrants should be allowed to come as long as they are legal. As we know most come to this country to work and as long as they do that its a good thing. They are at risk of being exposed and if they can continue to come to this country it increases the amount of people who would get involved in human traficing. They have no rights to remain in this country.

I dont see why anyone would have a problem with getting rid of inheritance tax. Its just a cheap and ugly way to take money off those who have worked hard to earn it.

I dont agree with UKIPS policy for Military, but most of there policies are resonable and i just get the impression people see them as another BNP. People dont vote for UKIP as a protest vote like some of the BNP voters. They arnt racist, they arnt facist they are fair and yet they are hated.
