Well after just seeing all the sending cuts of up to 40% over the next few weeks, there will be alot of unrest with the UK workforce,and I can see that the support for UKIP will go up alot because what we are still saying "Come out of the E.U. and there will not be anyneed for any cuts and we will still be on top of it all with cash left over.

Being a simple sort whose maths aren't all they should be, I just tried to calculate the figure of our national contributions to the EU on my little desktop calculator. Thus 43,000,000 x 365 (that's £43m per day, a real bargain, eh?) and the calculator just froze before coming up 'error'. I admit the calculator is Japanese, but was this just an error or was it an opinion?
At £43m per day for the privilege of having our country governed by foreigners that noone has actually consented to, I believe that Sid's analogy is invalid and that for the kind of money we're paying out, the invention of the flying pig would actually be considerably cheaper than staying within the EU.

Sid, I saw some tomatoes flying past too! But the worse thing was, there was a general scramble when a few pennies flew past.
Brian, how's about monopoly money?

alex,you play with it but dont cheat.
Andy
According to my Microsoft calculator, the answer is: £15,695,000,000
Now, how about calculating what we get back from the EU? That will give a more balanced financial picture methinks.

i thought it was about three quarters that formed the rebate.
maybe if we did not give them anything in the first place we would save the odd quarter?

Get ready,In the papers today the blues are saying that they can now get the votes to run the UK on their own and that they should now back to the polls. Well if they do (And I hope they do) UKIP will do a lot better this time,we will pick up more votes from all the partys.

this thread is the record for postings.
a few weeks back a prominent forumite( no name) suggested that the new head honcho andy cooper should start afresh with a new ukip thread that does not hark back to the last election but refers to the future of the party.
i would go with that.
What? and have 2 UKIP threads? On that basis I formally request threads specifically for the reds, blues and yellows if we are to take that route. There is such a thing as political balance, why, even the red ruled Beeb obey it for Question Time and the Daily Politic.

Howard
Totally agree with your posting.

Marek, as you have sympathies with left-wing policy, as I also do, you might find that the UKIP has a lot on its agenda that once used to be a column of Labour policy. The UKIP want to bring back lost production and give employment to millions of people in Britain. It is the right party for dissappointed Labour supporters who would like to see a return to production such as the textile industry, which used to be a foundation of British manifacture.
Many people are going over to the UKIP, even if they don't join up, but as supporters of a realistic economic future.

I don't see why we should start the UKIP thread afresh merely because it's so big. To say such a thing because I happen to be the new Chairman is ridiculous.....methinks it's just a different manifestation of the wish that us pesky UKIP ites would simply disappear and leave the Tories to pretend that all their supporters are quite happy to be sheep in a Euro field.
