Default OT - UKIP

They want to take us out of the EU for a start. They also don't seem to
have any polices, other than opposition to immigration and the EU.


First of all, they have more policies than any other party. So I am not
sure where you get the idea that they have no policies, unless you read
the Guardian



Secondly, name me one political party in the last 20 years that has
implemented the policies for which it got elected.


Thirdly, what dont you understand about libertarianism? It is a
philosophy that doesn't go for ideological pre-empting of future events:
It is a philosophy that preaches a small government adapting to
situations with pragmatic policies as the need arises, but not before.


UKIP should have as few policies as possible,


Given you've stated 'they have more policies than any other party' I take
it you think them a total waste of space, then?


and restrict itself to the
main thrust: To get rid of EU overlordship and restore power to national
government, and then to tackle serious issues on a rational basis as
they arise. And that's ALL the policy they need.


And not long after a third world war. Assuming there enough who think like
you round Europe. That is the logical outcome of 'my country above all
others'.

You don't need to look afar to see it these days.
