- What does UKIP stand for?
- Restricting immigration
- main policy at 2015 election.
- should be a cap on number of migrants entering the country.
- We need a points based system to ensure migrants with necessary skills get priority.
- 'taking back control' from the EU
- Membership of the EU damages the UK's interests by subjecting us to the rule of an unaccountable European bureaucracy. .
- Following the June 2016 referendum, Brexit should be negotiated ASAP, with no blacksliding on defending UK interests.
- We should take back control of policies on trade, fisheries and other areas where national soverignity has been shared with the EU
- Other Policies
- Support for grammar schools- like traditional conservatives
- increase spending on the NHS but migrants and visitors to UK must have private insurance- indireclty link to suspicion of EU and immigration
- scrap 'green taxes' which raise our energy bills- like the conservatives
- Nigel Farage
- Party leader ('06-'09), '(10-'16)
- Charismatic individual, outspoken with a persona to which many ordinary people could
- appealed to voters who felt disillusioned with the 3main parties as did not conform to image of mainstream 'liberal' establishment figures'
- the Party
- Radical right-wing populist party whose supporters tend to be older, more traditional people who feel left behind in a radically changing world
- UKIP seemed more respectable option to older BNP which was associated with overt racial prejudice.
- supporters often people with lower levels of education and job security
- In 2014 European elections, gained 24 MEPs- largest UK party in European parliament
- won 3.9 million votes at 2015 election but returned only one MP
- Began as fringe nationalist party in 1991. by 21st century, associated with Farage + opposition to EU membership.
