Is UKIP the next 'Catch-All' party? --page 3
Most of us have been asked at some time what sort of people
UKIP attracts as its voters and members. After explaining a few
of the more well known policies such as leaving the EU, many
instinctively believe that we are a target for traditional small 'c'
conservatives. However, it is not as simple as that. Looking
deeper into UKIP policy you will find a strong argument that it is
in fact the next 'catch-all' party, as Labour were previously
considered to be during the 1990's when the electorate had
become disillusioned with the ageing and out of touch
Conservative Party headed by John Major.
In the current difficult economic climate, our tax policy is a
particular favourite because a lower, flatter and altogether
simpler tax would undoubtedly benefit everyone- especially
those on the lowest incomes. With rising food and energy bills,
this sound UKIP policy would bring enormous benefit to the
hard working people of Britain.
Traditionally, these two policies are from the conservative
strand of politics in the UK. However, on closer examination
they in fact reveal that UKIP are the only political party who
can actually represent every hard working individual in the
UK, no matter what background they come from. Within
Young Independence, there is a broad membership with
active members passionate about ideologies of conservatism,
socialism, liberalism and libertarianism. This clearly shows
that the age old argument of left versus right has run its
course. As party leader Nigel Farage MEP has previously
expressed, UKIP is nether left or right- it is centre of public
opinion. Our commitment is to let the public know that we
share their opinion.
Another favourite is the policy of reintroducing of grammar
schools, unique to UKIP. It seems madness that we send all
children regardless of intellectual ability to just one kind of
school where large class sizes and disruptive pupils mean
that the more academic pupils are distracted and the less
academic cannot receive the help and support they need.
