They support more free speech than all but the Libertarians and firearms ownership.
That seems quite libertarian to me.

As a Conservative I cant go along with Liberal economics which will not restore the national economy.
Hence my first choice ahead of UKIP and the others Patriotic parties.

Which policies do you mean?

Let me list some:

1) National service - very anti-freedom, statist and anti-liberty.
2) Removing the vote of conscientious objectors - anti-liberty and basically amounts to punishing those who disagree with you so that they cannot vote agianst you.
3) Capital punishment - According to a libertarian, the state is not infallible, sorry...
4) They support a 'free' (or so they call it, Ha!), National Health Service - A socialistic leftist policy.
5) Control of agriculture and agricultural subsidies - little do they realise that many of these subsidies caused the problems in the first place, not to mention that it is anti-economic freedom.
6) Opposition to rail privatisation - This one's a no brainer.
7) Public schooling - not only do they support it, but they specifically mention that they are angered by the indoctrination of 'our children'. The ironic thing is, they then go on to argue in favour of indoctrination - just their kind this time!
8) Increase taxes on companies that outsource.
9) Centralising education.
10) Require supermarkets to stock British grown food - no doubt at great cost to everyone in Britain. Bastiat would be absolutely appalled.
11) Introduction of daily Christian assemblies into public schools - no thanks!
12) They wish to abolish university fees - how on earth are they going to pay for this whilst promising to lower taxes? It would seem that when a party has no chance of getting into power they can offer anything they want.
13) They support the continued use of council houses.
14) Invest in maglev trains - why on earth? This is just insanity.

I could go on.

Some of their policies are exceptionally vague as well.

Mine in order NOT of approval but of DETESTATION.


Muslim Council. (‘nuff said)
Respect. (By FAR the worst political party)
BNP (Close, but still better than “Respect”)
New Labour (They’ve ruined Britain)


Then a very long way until we get to the respectable parties and it would be churlish of me to rank them.

My big gripe with the UKIP is that I strongly believe that by continuing with the policy of Britain pulling out of the EU they are proposing a thing that would NOW result in a disaster for the country.

There is a whole lot more to be gained by adopting a “let’s go for Britain in the EU arena” approach as I see things today as I absolutely believe the window of opportunity to pull out of the EU and succeed on a stand alone basis is now closed.

If the BNP

1) Kicked out proven scum like Collett, Griffin etc.
2) Removed colour of skin as a barrier to membership.
3) Ditched all their socialist policies.

Then I would promote them to 3rd.

However, I see no squadron of flying pigs on the radar.
