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 beginthe process of undoing the damagecaused by the Conservatives, Labourand Liberal Democrats.Cutting and ControllingImmigration:• Outside the EU, we can manage ourborders and decide who we want tocome and live and work in the UK. EUrules stop us from doing this.Reducing Fuel Poverty:• Outside the EU, we can abolish EUlaws that add hundreds of pounds tohousehold energy bills. EU rules keepenergy bills high by forcing taxpayers’money into wasteful wind turbines andsolar arrays.Lighter Regulation forSmall Businesses• Only 5% of British companies exportto the EU. Why should 100% of ourbusinesses be subject to harmful EUregulation? Only outside the EU canwe have more flexible regulations tocreate more jobs.No Votes for Prisoners• The European Court of Human Rights– which the Lisbon Treaty forces allEU member states to sign up to – stillwants to give prisoners the vote. Italso prevents convicted terrorists frombeing deported. UKIP will leave the EUand the jurisdiction of the EuropeanCourt of Human Rights. Parliamentshould decide fairer human rights laws.Reclaiming our waters• Over the years, Britain’s coastalcommunities have lost thousands ofjobs due to the EU’s Common FisheriesPolicy. It has been an environmentaldisaster with fish stocks dangerouslylow. Outside the EU, we will reclaim ourterritorial waters, revive our fishingtowns and ports and end discards.Saving Taxpayers’ Money• The EU costs the UK Government £55ma day. As the EU’s biggest customer, weare in an incredibly strong position tonegotiate an amicable exit and free tradedeal under existing treaties. The savingsto the taxpayer would be huge.Local Homes for Local Families• UKIP will prioritise social housing forthose with parents and grandparentsborn locally.A National, Not International,Health Service• It is important that everyone in theUK has access to free medical care.Visitors and migrants to the UK mustshow proof of health insurance as acondition of entry to the UK.Trading Globally• On leaving the EU, the UK will keepthe trade agreements we entered as anEU member prior to the Lisbon Treaty.Outside the EU, we can negotiate ourown trade deals, but be in a strongerposition, as we will be negotiating inthe British interest.Cheaper Petrol and Diesel• UKIP will seek to reduce fuel duty andreduce the disparity in price betweendiesel and petrol. Fuel duty is too highand 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>
