The implication being that a party that offers help is one that people like and want to return the favour.

So the UKIP needs to look at the things that really get up people's noses, find a few regulations that they think are the doings of the government and let them know that these things are here to stay, whichever party you vote for unless it is a party that wants to quit the EU. That's simple to understand, there is no chance of getting our rights back with the current system. Say to them also that unless Cameron backs the idea of quitting the EU we will have exactly the same regime under his government because the only way he can change things is to leave the EU. If he tried to do it any other way it would be illegal. Most people don't get this point. Help them to understand it and they will talk to others.
