To my mind we need a party of common sense and one that acts for the people of the UK not the good of its own. We need honesty and transparency and we need to be in charge of our own destiny. Why we can't trade with our European cousins withut having to be virtually governed by them on many issues is beyond me.

UKIP may not be perfect and may in many cases not align themselves to my views, but they represent a real shot at giving the greedy self serving mainstream parties a seriously bloody nose and many of their policies (e.g. energy) do on the whole make sense to me.

Immigration is not an issue I feel particularly upset about, but seeing as we are already governed by a party committed to getting net immigration down to less than 100K per year (and failing dismally despite their stupid protestations otherwise) what difference does it make in that respect?

Let's try something different, it can't really be any worse!

UKIP are neither 'a change' or 'better'. In fact they are largely a party for angry white men.
