I dont agree with what you said, a federal UK is not the solution. Of course nor do I agree with the current devolution policy, dont be surprised if it is changed.

They wont back us, it would be too impractical for them, we do however enjoy a very favourable relationship with the express and I would except this to grow still further

Many in NI oppose Stormont simply because it doesnt work, a five party forced coalition, no official opposition and well over a hundred MLAs the system in place is a joke, and as things stand it could well be argued more sensible management would come via direct rule.

UKIP NI argue that Stormont must be reformed, radically but we would not replace it, we like everyone else in NI want to see a strong, effective administration based in Belfast.

Anyway, after all the deals signed by America and the ROI as well as the UK we couldn't shut it down if we wanted to.

prostitution should be illegal, drugs should be illegal and dealers should be locked away for a very very long time. Personally I love the smoking ban.

Spot the non-libertarian :p

UKIP Northern Ireland will not be campaigning on an anti devolution policy. We will reform but not replace the Assembly.

As for the Tory Party, they have a lot of history here and a great many people are resentful towards them for past acts. UKIP on the other hand are viewed in a rather positive light as the plucky underdog and what we stand for goes down well on the doorstep. Another key reason the Torys failed was because it was the most disorganised campaign ever ran, inactive UUP voters (99.9% of the people who would vote Tory/UUP) couldn't even see name the name UUP or the logo on the advertising or ballet! UKIP want to run a carefully managed, targeted well thought out campaign.

Unionism is ready for a change, so many people are sick to the teeth with the old parties, just maybe UKIP is the party to give them it. This election is under PR and it could be a very exciting time for UKIP.

for me, as a UKIP member.... NO it should not be.

Harry you wont be suprised by my view, but you may find a little agreement in it (maybe)

It certainly has and should have a libertarian flavour and a strong liberal faction certainly exists within the party. But a great many members, including myself would never dream of calling ourselves libertarian and wouldn't say we are members of a libertarian party.

UKIP is not and should never be a libertarian party, nor should we be authoritarian, nationalist, socialist or anything else. The only term that should be used to define our beliefs should be common sense, we should not limit ourselves to one narrow belief or another.
