Why do Labour and Tory supporters, continue to lie about and or misquote UKIP Policy?
On virtually every site available I have read, although seldom responded too reactions from Labour and Tory supporters in regard to the policy announcements at UKIP's recent conference.
I would not mind in the least if the statements were true, but by and large they are not.
Example, UKIP want to privatise the NHS.
This was absolutely rebuked by UKIP and a firm commitment was made about doing precisely the opposite.
It was pointed out that Labour introduced PFI which sucks the life out of the NHS.
Labour started and the Tory's brought about the bedroom tax.
UKIP will scrap it. Yet some have blamed UKIP for that, how? we have not been in power so cannot have brought any of these things into legislation?
Your views please.
I have responded to vambo number six in comments. But so all can see, yes absolutely yes the manifesto of 2010 was not fit for purpose. Not agreed by Nigel Farage not agreed by about 90% of the then party. UKIP is hundreds of times bigger now, it has grown immeasurably and it has, as part of that process established policies that are fully fit for purpose and fully costed.
Unlike Labours pfi delivered as some great initiative, but no more than privatisation by the back door. For shame Labour
Dale, I could not agree more. UKIP are rattling the heck out of the so called 3 main party's, although I am not sure how the Lib Dems can even claim that title now with about 6% in the polls.
UKIP make mistakes, but UKIP have never implemented a single policy in the UK, so the others cannot blame them for what they have done, only what they might do.
Not much in the way of high ground when you look at the mess the other 3 continue to make of our economy, NHS and everything else.
Cephalopod, I would respond but as you just report things you cannot understand I wont waste my time.
Clive, UKIP has made many statements in regard to the NHS, its key policies involve stripping out a lot of middle management. Safeguarding the NHS from the initiative that Labour started and the Tory party have continued in pfi allowing private enterprise to make staggering profits out of an organisation that is not financially stable to say the least.

Smeer campaigns and propaganda. The three estabished parties are all about uniformity and they have shared goals and aims. Ukip is a real threat to their agenda whatever the hell it is. You are ban on the money. The three main parties have proven they are all of the same mind and ukip are the only party that actually offer any thing different. Lets give them a try.

I am surprised they can find any UKIP policies !! there website has recently cut it's policy pages for this, http://www.ukip.org/issues.
They did used to say that privatszing the NHS was a good thing, starting with small parts and to allow different local areas to sell of whatever services they deemed fit.
Now, who knows.

In the 2010 UKIP manifesto, it says they would:
"Encourage County Health Boards to put out to tender key NHS services ranging from Long Term Care to local hospitals and GP surgeries. This will be done by franchising key services - run on a fixed budget - to charitable associations, not-for-profit and profit-making private companies, partnerships and individuals."
You may believe they've all had a complete change of heart. I don't.

That's what happens on matters that UKIP has no current policies about. Hurry up and produce some, and you would have a more reasonable complaint.

Because leftwits are corrupt and are attracted to other corrupt people such as liblabcons. Most liblabcons are pervs and perv protectors and pie members. Sick commies always vote labour.
