Being a mother I'm very rarely wrong
but I hold my hand up and admit that I have changed my views since the decision to give 16-18 year old teenagers a vote in the Scottish Referendum. The reason being is that most of them were taught not to close their ears and eyes and blindly put their cross on a piece of paper without first weighing up all the pros and cons. Quite often this isn't the case with older generations who align themselves to one party out of a perceived loyalty.
It's been interesting to see the break in a habit of a lifetime for thousands of voters now that the clarion call has got persistently louder of the need to unite "US" against "THEM" who purportedly are causing us more problems than we can handle.
Has anyone seen UKIP's proposals if ever they were to win a general election? The only manifesto I found is shown on the link below which mainly outlines how the UK would regain control of our seas, etc.
British tax payers money is given to members of the European market to do their best for us and I'm interested in how MY money is spent:
What interested me most was the admission made about current UKIP Members of the European Market:-
"Some of us go there" :
"We don't go there to make the EU better..."
"We go there ... making sure we know what they're up to"
"making sure we know what they're cooking up"
"Others spend more time back here spreading the word and campaigning to get us out".
Other than the above, there's no mention of how they will create markets for our industries which should be somewhere near the top of the list, e.g. The Tories reversed Labour's actions which closed many of our foreign embassies that had impacted on UK trade by cutting us off from prospective customers around the world.
The main message is that UKIP are not using my tax money to my advantage. They're not participating in making the Union a better partner but mainly to furnish an office in which to advertise their own political aims
