Long-term UKIP Plans

Earthling · 15-05-2008, 09:44 PM

It is sadly pretty unreleastic, but say we fast forward to 2010. After what seemed like a certain win for the Tories during 2009 a series of corruption scandals led to dwindling in the polls and disillusioned voters turned to the UKIP.
UKIP win the 2010 general election and by 2012 the UK is out of the European Union.

WHAT NEXT?

I know it is not true but a lot of people seem to think UKIP is a one-issue party (I know it isn't after looking at some policies)

But when UKIP gets what it wants, complete withdrawal, what sort of policies would we see? Would they be right-wing? What is the UKIP stance on bread and butter issues like crime for example?

Would immigration be tightened further still after withdrawal?

Are UKIP a pro-marriage party and would they re-introduce the marriage credits which the Tories intend to do? Would they also make St. George's day a national holiday?

Your average UKIPer is a Tory who has thrown a hissy fit and left the Tory party in a strop. 99.9% of the membership (including the leadership) has a thing about Thatcherism, so much so that many of them get stiffies listening to old Maggie Thatch speeches.

Did I say 100% of UKIP members were Thatcherite?

Is there any realism that UKIP could ever win an election? The website claims they are the "fourth biggest party in the UK", but with the Lib Dems having not won an election since 1922, is there much hope?

I'm not trolling here by the way, I actually like a lot of what the UKIP stands for, I am just curious and would like to learn as much as I can before going to the Nantwich meeting.

At the last UK General Election, 4 in 10 registered electors—over 17 million people—chose not to vote. Labour won the last election with 9,562,122 votes. Any things possible.

In order for us to start to do well we need! to claim down and explain our anti-EU bit more with the public cause all they get when we say we hate the EU they think we hate Europe.

Plus we need to get our main local and national policy out to the public more and show them we are not the same as the three conartist parties.

I actually don't think a bunch of school children could do any more damage than the tossers we have had in charge for a long time now.

Thus I don't hold any fear of any party that says it will reduce regulation and taxation. Just by doing that, Britain will become a better more free country.
