What policies should UKIP change to get your vote?

Question

Personally, I think they should champion the policies that give people back the right of self determination. That's independence from State interference...

Answer 1

Lol they are seen as a one issue party so they won't get enough votes to make up a government!



I voted for them last time around as did many others simply to try to wake up any incoming government to the fact that people are not happy with the way we roll over for Brussels when other countries in the EU (especially France) simply ignore them and do things their own way seemingly without fear of penalty!



A lot of fringe parties attract protest votes and governments ignore them at their peril because they are a reflection of what issues are of concern to the electorate!



They should ditch the narrow focus groups, look at the voting figures and listen to their Mps in the commons who all have surgeries and are in touch with voters real-life concerns, after all they allegedly run the country on our behalf!

Answer 2

Their economic policy doesn't add up.



They want to raise the threshold that people dont pay tax to £11,500 and remove the 40 and 50% tax bracket and remove employers NI contributions, they want to reduce tax that business pays



They plan to increase the state pension to £10,000 and increase spending on defence by another 1% of GDP, and double the number of prison places.



So in short they want to reduce the tax that individuals pay, reduce the amount that business pays and spend more on pensions, defence and police and justice.



So where is the money going to come from or more importantly what is going to get cut (or privatised) in order to balance the books? The amount we spend in foreign aid and EU contributions will not cover anywhere this amount.





They need to get the calculator back out.







Secondly they make no secret (unlike the tory party) that this so called business regulation isn't for the benefit of the majority (employees) it is about reducing maternity and paternity leave, parental leave, the amount of time a company has to sack an employee without the right to redress etc....Why would I vote for a party that is going to give me less employment rights?





Thirdly - They want businesses to self regulate on things like catering and health and safety, business has already been shown that whilst the overwhelming business can be trusted to self regulate a minority cant and they cause death, injury and illness - do I want to vote for a party that is going to put me in risk of hospitalisation?



For me - UKIP is an extreme version of the conservative values I detest

Answer 3

My wife, myself, and a lot of our friends have decided that we will vote for UKIP when the time comes. We are sick of being let down by the other two parties, We find very little difference between their promises and what they actually do. To quote someone else " It is time for change ".

Answer 4

I have been involved in EU debate for years, and still have a thread going strong (see link below).



Note I am not a member of UKIP or any other party for that matter, but I am British, and am not only pushing for an EU in/out referendum, but for total withdraw.



Every aspect of our lives - be it personal or business - are influenced by the EU. I even supplied direct links to European Commission showing that the EU dictates the laws, rules, and regulations of all member states, including the UK.



I voted UKIP and last EU election, and again at GE and local elections. Why? Because I know UKIP will get us out of the EU, or at the very least give the British people an EU in/out referendum. I heard all the arguments for staying in, and shot them down in flames one after another, Trade is the biggest joke. Neither the UK or any other member state needs to be in the EU to trade with other member states. For the EU to even try would be a breach of international law, and even the EU must abide by that. Note all member states remain members of WTO too, including Greece. Not one needs to be in EU to trade with Europe. Further, the EU is not a country or sovereign, but every member state within is.



As to what policies UKIP should change, I believe that to be trick question. Nobody will agree with all the policies of any party, and the same goes for UKIP.

Answer 5

in all hazard no longer seen because of the fact the BNP and UKIP are no longer something alike. What i do no longer comprehend is why people talk approximately the two in the comparable gentle as though they are comparable events. this is not racist to attempt end unlawful immigration as people who proceed to be in the country illegally are certainly breaking the regulation.

Answer 6

Unfortunately I think it's too late for them. UKIP just causes raised eyebrows, shaked heads and sniggers. They'd need to start again under a different name and without the embarrassing nutters.

Answer 7

They should introduce a policy that everyone is allowed to drive in a bus lane if it's their birthday.

Answer 8

At a pinch I would stay in the EU as we have been in it so many years. I do want members to agree for us coming out of the Council of Europe. The one that is quite seperate to the EU and the one that has the loathsome criminals rights court. I dont see any point in voting for any small party.

Answer 9

They should change their policy about being UKIP. Then I will vote for them. Well, maybe. Well, actually no. Never. Not a chance

Answer 10

They should not allow tories to join the party. the last thing Britain needs is another tory party in disguise.

Answer 11

I don't know what the solution to the Europe problem is (and it is a problem that we have ended up in), but it isn't as simple as UKIP make out. I just wouldn't vote for them because they seem naive as people, dreaming up new policies wouldn't help here.

Answer 12

Renationalise public transport and utilities.

Answer 13

Having a candidate in my area would help.

Answer 14

Leaving Europe would be a disaster, so there you have it.
