How about UKIP promise to keep all of the named regiments? The issue really is only with naming, and I don't how Labour have made such a balls up of it. A single battalion regiment isn't a problem; it is just a name. And if they want to group battalions, then just call it a brigade instead. Big deal.
And if a regimental name provides our lads and lasses in the armed forces with a feeling of pride and history, then we should keep it. It's not like the armed forces have much else to cheer about at the moment.
