Independence  UKIP

The UK Independence Party is committed to withdrawing Britain from the European Union. As the debate on the Lisbon Treaty has now made clear, the EU agenda is complete political union, with all the main functions of national government taken over by the bureaucratic institutions of Brussels. UKIP believes that this is not only bad for Britain's economy and prosperity, but it is an alien system of government that will ultimately prove to be totally unacceptable to the British people.

UKIP would replace Britain's membership of the European Union with the kind of agreements on free trade and co-operation that we thought we had signed up to when we first joined what was then called the European Economic Community.

The UK Independence Party is the fourth largest political party in the UK. We currently have 13 members of the European Parliament who use their positions exclusively to expose the true nature of the EU and to campaign for British withdrawal.

We would:

"  Restore British sovereignty, which has been consistently reduced by successive Conservative and Labour governments as they sign up to an increasing number of European treaties and policies. Increasing interference in the British way of life has been imposed on us during the current Labour administration. Labour is determined to destroy our country, its culture and heritage.

"  Take control of our national borders and impose our own immigration rules.

"  Repatriate the many thousands of illegal immigrants who represent a significant risk to our national security and who create a drain on our already over-burdened resources. This Labour government displays little interest or ability in managing this crisis.

Commitments

"  Save £45 million per day currently paid into EU coffers, which can be better spent to benefit our country and protect its people.

"  Rebuild our national fishing industry, which has been reduced to almost nothing, with the introduction of a strong fisheries protection fleet to protect our fish stocks. We also need to assist UK Customs & Excise in their fight against the illicit smuggling of drugs.

"  Restore our national agriculture and protect the custodians of our precious countryside.

"  Develop British democracy by encouraging the electorate to vote on contentious issues through referendums. Government by the people for the people!

"  Reduce the oppressive regulation imposed on British businesses and exempt small businesses with less than 25 employees from the present damaging regulations imposed on them.

"  Eradicate political correctness and replace it with free speech and common sense.

"  Introduce a zero tolerance approach to assist in fighting crime, with effective practical deterrents.

" UKItion.P is committed to the highest standards of animal welfare in the treatment of animals and for food products
