But it reminds me a little bit of Liberal manifestos of the past, promising everything to everyone in the full knowledge that they will never have to make it work in the real world. I sincerely wish UKIP well, but if they were a single-issue party I would find them easier to support.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743685798068014455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752503089313270013.post-73729307836109329812011-04-05T08:28:04.648+02:002011-04-05T08:28:04.648+02:00Richard, if you download the manifesto, that is co...Richard, if you download the manifesto, that is covered. The money we save by leaving the EU and getting rid of non jobs and quangoes will cover much of that.<br /><br />Xopher, I don't think anybody realistically thinks this is going to happen quickly. The country is in such a mess that the priority for UKIP is to leave the EU first or none of this will be possible.<br /><br />At the risk of sounding like a "one policy party", their aspirations for reform are set out for all to see!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07165615283953837706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752503089313270013.post-85035852285761562102011-04-05T01:40:15.272+02:002011-04-05T01:40:15.272+02:00Wonderful words BUT honesty should temper all thes...Wonderful words BUT honesty should temper all these bold statements with a promise that they would make every effort to .................<br />If UKIP chooses to make impossible political promises we may as well play a game of pinning the tail on the election card donkey.<br />Yes or No to AV we'll still end up with professional politicians willing to lie for votes.<br />I believe in UKIP but I also believe in the 'art of the workable'.Xopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01387364739989208360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752503089313270013.post-43759210075060568402011-04-04T22:55:47.339+02:002011-04-04T22:55:47.339+02:00Can't argue with most of those!Can't argue with most of those!Woodsy42https://www.blogger.com/profile/12355671210161625647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752503089313270013.post-84916955461103160572011-04-04T22:10:35.296+02:002011-04-04T22:10:35.296+02:00I'm afraid this all sounds a bit sixth-form to...I'm afraid this all sounds a bit sixth-form to me. All those lovely promises, but not a word on how they will be paid for. Far better if UKIP said 'we will hold an immediate in/out binding referendum, then have another GE within six months'. I'd vote for that happily. But this wish-list would be torn apart in an election campaign, even by Labour. I hope the manifesto contains more detail ... *goes to look*Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743685798068014455noreply@blogger.com
