We know what we’re voting for

Sadly, like many others, Yvonne Leonard (Gazette, June 5) still has no idea why UKIP is proving so popular with the electorate.

The leaders of the other political parties live in their multi-million pound properties and never mix with or have any real understanding of the lives of ordinary folk.

They also don’t listen to our concerns when we voice them.

They say they understand but they just don’t get it. They think they know better.

Those who write, criticising UKIP’s policies, obviously haven’t read their manifesto.

One national journalist recently wrote that he dreaded their policies.

Which was it that concerned him most, I wonder?

Was it leaving the EU, controlling immigration, stopping wind farms and HS2, protecting green spaces, more police on the streets, money used for local services not the EU, foreign aid or foreign wars? I could go on but if you look at UKIP’s website you will only find common sense policies and nothing racist, homophobic or nasty.

It costs the UK nearly £1million every hour to belong to the ‘Euro Club’.

Think what Littlehampton or Worthing could do with just one days’ contribution!?

The EU needs us more than we need them. We could continue trading with Europe, as Switzerland and Norway do, but could trade a lot easier with other countries in the world, too. There are many myths about leaving the EU, such as losing millions of jobs or the price of goods or food.

They are not true, get your facts right, don’t just believe ‘Europhiles’ like Nick Clegg, who are only looking after themselves. So yes, we do know what we are voting for when we vote UKIP – common sense policies that the ordin-ary person in the street wants.

To govern our own country; to control our own borders; to say who can and can’t live here and to trade with who we want. Nigel Farage is the only politician who has any idea what the people want, that’s why so many voted UKIP and will continue to do so.
