Awesome and should be adopted IN FULL by UKIP as the parties position.

Agreed, Matt. They write some excellent stuff and get it out.

Gawain mentioned on Friday that "the party has made an officail submission through the offices of the party leader".

Anyone seen it? Maybe they highlighted it on the front page of the website and invited members to send their own comments to the Review. I missed it, then.

I did ask Gawain for a URL on Friday - look forward to seeing it.

UKIP may have limitied resources, but when other "thinktanks" and other organisations do all this great work, then UKIP should take it and use it.

I would also look to take on a lot of stuff from NO2ID, the optimum population trust, select pickings from REFORM and I'm sure there is many other good groups that fall into UKIPs aims spectrum.

Absolutely, Matt. I keep saying we need policymakers in particular fields who will put suits on and go and talk to think tanks.

They do the work and we need to be using it to shape and promote our own policies.

This is about getting ourselves into the political mainstream, which the present sad lot seem to have no plans to do.

No strategy, thank you, we're UKIP.
