I put this in a different thread but im still trying to work out how UKIP are vile. Unfair hate without any reasoning i say. Highwaystar doesnt like UKIP either, but i didnt get the feeling he thought they were vile.


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. i think most partys are in favour of UK manufacturing, i dont know of anything in the EU that prevents that though.

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. stupid and pointless, makes the UK the most xenophic nation in Europe, wont even work either, just means more illegal immigrants will come through, and it will be bad for the economy
 
We will give people the vote on policing priorities stupid, as your actually giving the power to the media outlet that makes its case on a policy best, people dont know enough about politics for that, not yet anyway, you need a much more progrsessive educaiton system first.

We will scrap Inheritance Tax as ive said before, all this does is harm the treasury.

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. our army is if anything to big, were a small island nation, we dont need 2,500 more troops imo, let alone 25,000, the armed forces need more equipment, that i agree with, solidiers get medical care, its called the NHS, more housing is fine, but id say we should do that for everyone, not just soldiers

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. that just makes you xenophobic, personally, i wouldnt brag about it.

They have traditionally supported policies and i see them as very achievable and popular. achievable is debatable, popular depends on what paper you read and also who votes and how many people vote.

They want to pull out of the EU as it is consting the British taxpayer 40 million £ per day. i think thats less than many other things cost us, and the EU gives us human rights, better trade links and the like, imo were better as a united Europe than divided.
