UKIP? Might as well vote BNP

They are a single policy party too.

Instead of cutting ourselves off from Europe we need to take charge, independence means reduced markets and financial isolation, for an economy that makes very little that's dangerous and makes us more dependent on the US financial markets.

As this is a science and technology site lets discuss their policies in these terms, they support Homeopathy - nuff said?

When asked about stem cell research the best they could do is have a plicy of "not killing very small children", they really haven't given it much thought have they?

"The correct policy approach to the non-problem of 'global warming' is to have the courage to do nothing" DO NOTHING? ignore the fact that there is evidence of humanities impact on the environment? not "investigate" or "verify" or "research" but just "ignore", how about making sure the UK has energy? "enough fossil-fuelled and nuclear power stations to meet demand" well that's OK then, don't worry about fossil fuels and nuclear waste.

While Europe and Imigration are obviously important topics, this party cannot think of anything else;

Paul Wiffen (chair of UKIP London) publically suspended after making racist comments (and then quietly let off).

The difference between people coming in and going out has decreased stedily over the last 5 years, there's less assylum seeker applications now than 10 years ago (and dropping sharply) even so, Boris Johnson wants an amnesty for illegal immigrants, btw EU migrants pay 37% more tax than they receive in welfare, so the UK economy would be worse off if we didn't have them here.

The UKIP may not like the EU and have built their one policy party around that fact, it's not even a very good policy.
