UKIP supports socialized medicine. In fact, they made a point of saying they don’t want it going in the more “conservative” direction of ACA.
One UKIP minister let the cat out of the bag, that they want to make abortion mandatory for babies with Down Syndrome.
Farage is evasive on marriage, and we all know what that means.
Just because UKIP is Euroskeptic, doesn’t mean U.S. conservatives should cozy up to him.
He’s being invited to CPAC as part of the effort to drown out conservatives. How long before conservatives aren’t welcome at CPAC.
I’m sorry low information voters on this web site are buying this establishment PR.
What party in the UK doesn’t support socialized medicine?
As I said, they’re not as conservative as the GOP in some areas, but they are moreso in others. (And immigration is the most important issue facing the GOP right now, as it is not only an existential one for conservatives, it is one that the party elite have already sold out on.)
Anyway, some more UKIP positions:
No tax on the minimum wage.
• Enrol unemployed welfare claimants onto community schemes or retraining workfare programmes.
• Scrap HS2, all green taxes and wind turbine subsidies.
• Develop shale gas to reduce energy bills and free us from dependence on foreign oil and gas - place the tax revenues into a British Sovereign Wealth Fund.
• UKIP will abolish inheritance tax. Inheritance tax brings in under £4bn - less than a third of what we spend on foreign aid. The super-rich avoid it, while modest property owners get caught by it. It hits people during a time of grief and UKIP will budget in its 2015 spending plans to completely abolish this unfair death tax.
• Make cuts to foreign aid that are real and rigorous.
• Make sentences mean what they say.
• No votes for prisoners - that’s what losing your liberty means.
• Make welfare a safety net for the needy, not a bed for the lazy. Benefits only available to those who have lived here for over 5 years.
• The law of the land must apply to us all. We oppose any other system of law.
• Teach children positive messages and pride in their country. We want to unite through better integration.
• No to Political Correctness - it stifles free speech.
“UKIP supports socialized medicine.”
And the Tories don’t? LOL. I didn’t say they were conservative by OUR standards but they are not to the left of the current Conservative party. And those 2 parties are the only choices for right of center voters over there.
