Want to know what UKIP believe? Read their manifesto pledges (some RW winners)

[pampango]

Apparently they are having some trouble putting their hatred down on paper for the upcoming May election, but here are some of their tried-and-true, right-wing winners:

Axe inheritance tax

Inheritance tax is currently paid if a person’s estate (their property, money and possessions) is worth more than £325,000 when they die. UKIP pledged to “abolish Inheritance Tax at the earliest opportunity.”

Ban new immigrants - for five years

This wouldn’t apply to temporary workers or students, but anyone who hoped to live in the UK would be out of luck. UKIP planned “an immediate five-year freeze on immigration for permanent settlement.”

More people in jail

The manifesto pledged to “double prison places through better use of existing prisons and a substantial programme of new prison building.”

A massive increase in defence spending

While UKIP was keen on cutting public spending in other ways, it planned “an extra 40% on defence annually”.

Ditch the green crap

The manifesto boasted: “UKIP accepts that the world’s climate changes, but we are the first party to take a sceptical stance on man-made global warming claims.” Energy policies included plans to “oppose wind farms in general” and ban schools from showing Al Gore’s film ‘An Inconvenient Truth’
