Being a member of UKIP is going up In Jan/2012 to £30 per Year,
Is it the same with other partys that the cost of its members are going up and up,please tell us. Thank You.
I do not think this is the way to get new members,we might even find that some will leave the partys.

The Conservative Party does not have a fixed membership though there is a recommended sum as a minimum to have leadership voting rights.

Well if you do not have voting rights ,no point in being in the party in the first place,please can you tell us what is the cost of a member with voting rights please. This could see the end for me,I work for the party so if I put a cost to that, then they will be paying me,not me paying them. Is UKIP payments from its members inline with other partys or are we over the top.?

Pensioners and younger members have flexibility and plenty of people join at below the 'voting level' just to provide support.

I renewed my membership with UKIP last week, paid £20 for a whole year to next October.
I receive plenty of post from UKIP, to keep me informed, and this probably costs more than £20 a year on postage stamps and printing costs. I also received the otherd ay a DVD from UKIP, with information about immigration.
I also receive a ballot sheet with a postage paid return envelope whenever there is a vote concerning UKIP, so I have full voting rights.
I was going to make a donation too, but at that time my wages still hadn't arrived, but since then they have. So I will make my donation soon.
I write articles for UKIP online, of my own accord, to promote the cause.
The last one was a few days ago.
If anyone wishes to join UKIP, you can do so either through the local branch, by contacting Vic Matcham, or through the head office in Devon, of which the address is online under UKIP.
To the best of my knowledge, former BNP members are not allowed to join, and one cannot be a member of a group that is considered contrary to UKIP's policy. Exactly which groups these may be, can be found on a UKIP website.
As I'm not a member of any other group, I haven't looked into it.
