UKIP slogans

I must say I prefer 'We Want our Country Back' to 'UKIP Protecting Your Freedom' put forward by Anthony. I have asked various members and they all think the first one is more hard hitting as it can also refer to immigration and the destruction of our traditions and national identity. The general opinion was that the second one was too weak sounding. People should stick with 'We Want our Country Back' as this is the slogan on all our leaflets and posters. If every candidate made personal changes to our slogans and leaflets it could confuse people as to which slogan or policy is the one picked by the leadership and policy team.

I didn't put it forward at all, B A Ware picked it up from one of the adverts I created. I use a different slogan on every advert to match the content. :!:

I personally think Ukip protecting your freedom is more in the line with the party. After all don’t we say 5 essential Freedoms on our web site?

We could say the following

UIKIP Protecting your freedom
Freedom from Immigration
Freedom from Europe
Freedom from bureaucracy
Freedom from Regulation
Freedom To choose

What does we want our country back conjure up in your mind.
We want to be free from Europe; maybe, but it is more like we are saying lets get back to the good old days.
It also lends itself to we have been overtaken by minorities and we want our country back from them, this has a slight racist tint to it.
I just prefer it because you can build on it.

'UKIP Protecting Your Freedom' is not only in line with the 5 Essential Freedoms, but it does, as B A Ware hints at, leave less room for mis-interpretation. It also has a more friendly feel to it than 'We Want Our Country Back' - that sounds like the BNP.

This works for me:

Very good, IB.

Jjpmusgrave · 20-02-2005, 11:29 AM

I agree. That seems to settle that then.

Intbel · 20-02-2005, 11:36 AM

So to whom do I submit it for approval then?

'We Want Our Country Back' is the prefered slogan used by the party. To suggest it sounds like the BNP is going too far.

TOO TRUE.
