How naive..

All you 'know' is what they say they are.

In reality they could be, and usually are the polar opposite.

Yet you implicitly trust the word of a party who freely admit that
their most recently published manifesto was "drivel"?

No.

I don't trust anyone. I go by what they do, not what they say.

Yet UKIP haven't actually ever _done_ anything. Lots of talk. Some of it
consistent. Some of it even credible.

Actually, not quite true. They have done things, of course. They've
repeatedly made fools of themselves because of what various councillors
keep saying.
