IT is not necessarily right- wing to want to leave the EU.

UKIP are not the only political party committed to an independent UK. The continuation Liberal Party which, unlike the EU-fanatic Liberal Democrats quite rightly opposed giving up the Pound for the Euro, is also in favour of leaving the EU and bureaucratic rule from Brussels, given the EU’s aim of ever-closer union and likely resistance to adequate reform from within. The Liberal Party, whose traditional constitution demands “liberty, property and security” for all, calls for a more socially just, democratic capitalist society where progressive taxation of gifted and inherited wealth finances a citizen’s inheritance for young UK-born UK adult citizens and claws it back eventually from those receiving larger lifetime totals.

We want more small businesses created and a dynamic society with real investment in human capital for all, improving the NHS and State schools relative to private health and education including sporting facilities, by extending VAT from ordinary spending by all of us, rich or poor, to such luxury spending by the rich, naturally including non-residents.

UKIP are right to want to leave the EU, but not to want an ever-more unequal UK.
