That is not enough of a basis to run a country.

Do you really believe that UKIP's aim is to "run the country"? Is it not
clear to you that their purpose is to gain sufficient leverage to force
a referendum on EU membership?

First of all UKIP per se is not a unitary organism and different people
are in it for different reasons.


The common them however is that all who are in it find that whatever
they consider needs doing *cannot be dome on account of the EU*.

And largely even out of the EU, could not be be done without dismantling
fairly large swathes of existing QUANGOS etc.

So the aim is very simple: exit the EU and save a huge amount, then stop
funding useless NGOS and save a lot more - obviously the useless members
of those NGOS then become a social security burden, but any that are any
good will get jobs in a newly de regulated private sector that will
flourish because it has the minimum level of bureaucracy standing in its
way.

Just as Thatcher was elected to do a specific task, take on and reduce
Union power for the good of the non Union nation, so UKIP will be
elected to do a specific job. Reduce centralised government interference
and burden to improve economic productivity. Once done arguably UKIP has
no reason left to exist.

Once the UK is an independent self-governing nation again then politics
can resume its usual tawdry course: The difference being that the
politicians who subsequently get elected will have the power to carry
out any electoral promises and will be accountable for the results of
their meddling.
