On June the 8th, the British people go to the polls to vote for a new government. Most indications are showing a Conservative Party victory under Prime Minister, Theresa May, who leads the Labour Party in polls by quite a margin.

UKIP was the party under Nigel Farage that not only forced the referendum, but was instrumental in the Brexit win. They have released their Manifesto to some controversy with many in the Establishment calling it “divisive” and “dangerous”.

What do you think?

ECONOMY

Raise the personal tax allowance to at least £13,000, taking those on minimum wage out of tax altogether Raise the threshold for paying 40% tax to £55,000 and introduce a new 30% intermediate rate on earnings between £45,300 and £55,000 Abolish inheritance tax Increase the transferable tax allowance for married couples to £1,500 Ensure big corporations pay their fair share of tax Remove VAT from listed building repairs and sanitary products.

IMMIGRATION

Leave the EU and take back control of our borders End immigration for unskilled jobs for a five-year period to re-balance our work economy Introduce an Australian-style points-based immigration system to assess all potential migrants to Britain on a fair, ethical and equal basis Tackle the problem of sham marriages Introduce a new visa system for workers, visitors, students, families and asylum seekers End access to benefits and free NHS treatment for new immigrants until they have paid tax and NI for five years Require all visitors and new immigrants to the UK to have their own health insurance.

Mostly looks good except the part of making companies “pay their fair share”.

I think immigration should be proportional to unemployment.

So there should be no immigration until unemployment hits 0%

When unemployment rises to .000001% cut off immigration again...

I like it!

End access to benefits and free NHS treatment for new immigrants until they have paid tax and NI for five years

Require all visitors and new immigrants to the UK to have their own health insurance.

I wonder if an American version of this might be a good idea. "When you come here legally, be prepared to support yourself until you have bought into the system"

Of course if you are here illegally, no benefits for you.

I've seen it suggested that now that Britain's leaving the European Union UKIP’s raison d’être has disappeared.
