Wrong, immigrant tax receipts outweigh the money they take out. You look at a sector like University education, it is largely funded by foreign students

The immigrants aren't crippling local services, lack of investment is.

UKIP believe that
Council tax should be as low as possible

Immigration must be controlled to relieve pressure on our ,health ,education ,housing and welfare services

Green spaces should be protected- they oppose excessive housing developments , wind farms and HS2

Need more police on our streets, cracking down on crimecand anti-social behaviour

Councils should cut highly paid council executives , not front line staff and services

real decision makingshould be given to local communities

Money should be used for local services, not the EU, foreign aid and foreign wars

Government at local, national and european level has become too remote, the political class have forgotyen they work for us, Bureaucrats and
professional politicians have taken over and the people are too often ignored

UKIP will bring back power to the people, decisions will be made locally, common sense policies will make lives easier and government will do what is needed, but no more

I will ignore the funny spelling mistakes and just deal with item one on your list,

" Cut councillors excessive allowances and expenses "

Well here is Mr Farage putting that one in to operation by setting an example.

You start to realise that the genius of UKIP, is that by not really stating what they're about, people just fill in the blanks to use them to fulfil agendas that we don't know actually exist.

I mean, they're seemingly being championed for bringing politics back to the people, British values, no more EU, no more Bureaucrats, Tax reductions, money to local services etc. etc. etc. But they've not ever really stated what their manifesto is in any detail, and it changes like smoke drifting in a breeze. Their supporters are filling in these blanks themselves. The scary thing is, I suspect one set of UKIP voters could think they stand for something completely different to another set of UKIP voters.

Take [MENTION=11191]Pretty pink fairy[/MENTION]'s statements - they sound positively left wing socialism!

From bringing power back to the people, to serving the memory of the WWII dead, it seems UKIP can be moulded into pretty much anything.

They might well be, the first 'socialist-right wing-liberal-green-lefty' party in history. Would be great to know though wouldn't it what they really are about other than the obvious things, instead of everyone having to make the rest up!

I am interested to know the following in order to asses if leaving the EU is good or bad, and since as you seem to advocate it you are a good person to ask these questions as you must know.
If we leave the EU toady what would be the percentage difference in the UK's GDP be, say, 10 years time compared to if we stay?
Also, for the case of local services, how much would the survival rate per thousand cases for cancer change if we leave the EU?
