I thought this was a great document even though it is a bit dated and I am being a lazy blogger:

Only by leaving the EU can we begin

the process of undoing the damage

caused by the Conservatives, Labour

and Liberal Democrats.

Cutting and Controlling

Immigration:

• Outside the EU, we can manage our

borders and decide who we want to

come and live and work in the UK. EU

rules stop us from doing this.

Reducing Fuel Poverty:

• Outside the EU, we can abolish EU

laws that add hundreds of pounds to

household energy bills. EU rules keep

energy bills high by forcing taxpayers’

money into wasteful wind turbines and

solar arrays.

Lighter Regulation for

Small Businesses

• Only 5% of British companies export

to the EU. Why should 100% of our

businesses be subject to harmful EU

regulation? Only outside the EU can

we have more flexible regulations to

create more jobs.

No Votes for Prisoners

• The European Court of Human Rights

– which the Lisbon Treaty forces all

EU member states to sign up to – still

wants to give prisoners the vote. It

also prevents convicted terrorists from

being deported. UKIP will leave the EU

and the jurisdiction of the European

Court of Human Rights. Parliament

should decide fairer human rights laws.

Reclaiming our waters

• Over the years, Britain’s coastal

communities have lost thousands of

jobs due to the EU’s Common Fisheries

Policy. It has been an environmental

disaster with fish stocks dangerously

low. Outside the EU, we will reclaim our

territorial waters, revive our fishing

towns and ports and end discards.

Saving Taxpayers’ Money

• The EU costs the UK Government £55m

a day. As the EU’s biggest customer, we

are in an incredibly strong position to

negotiate an amicable exit and free trade

deal under existing treaties. The savings

to the taxpayer would be huge.

Local Homes for Local Families

• UKIP will prioritise social housing for

those with parents and grandparents

born locally.

A National, Not International,

Health Service

• It is important that everyone in the

UK has access to free medical care.

Visitors and migrants to the UK must

show proof of health insurance as a

condition of entry to the UK.

Trading Globally

• On leaving the EU, the UK will keep

the trade agreements we entered as an

EU member prior to the Lisbon Treaty.

Outside the EU, we can negotiate our

own trade deals, but be in a stronger

position, as we will be negotiating in

the British interest.

Cheaper Petrol and Diesel

• UKIP will seek to reduce fuel duty and

reduce the disparity in price between

diesel and petrol. Fuel duty is too high

and has held the economy back.

It’s key aspects of the UKIP May 22 EU election manifesto.  I am not familiar with all the local to UK issues but it sounds good to me>
