I had a similar thing where I live, UKIP leaflet, stating they stand for local issues the list of 3 included, getting out of the EU, the other 2 that I cant remember where pretty tenously local...

I like the idea of the UKIP but they are just fail..
Yeah, I got that one, too! Other local issues included "better terms and conditions for soldiers". I assumed that they hadn't quite got the grasp of "local issues", as I put it in the bin.

So what does make a party fit for power? Judging by the comments here it is slick presentation and a whole phalanx of slimey oily politicians - and thus we get the main three parties who you might judge as fit to rule because you're too blinded by their presentation to actually look at their utterly rubbish policies and their bankrupt political beliefs. I read what UKIP's policies are and thought the gist of them was spot-on. Given that the professional politicians are such an utter disgrace I am more than happy to give some keen amateurs who seem to be more in touch with reality my vote.
You want to hand a multi-trillion pound economy to some 'keen amateurs'? These would be the same keen amateurs who have a number of colleagues within the ranks with more than questionable records in financial dealings.

What a cracking idea. Replace those 'slimey oily politicians' with the MEPs from UKIP who took more than £2m in expenses to fund their families etc. It makes the duck pond incident look like stealing a grape from the grocers.
I hear what you're saying, but aren't they all 'keen amateurs' - Darling was a small town solicitor, not even a qualified accountant...

The problem is that there is no reglementation or qualifications needed, neither in terms of life experience or academicaly. In any other job you have to conform to some standard or other, politicians, surprisingly (note the irony), don't.
Absolutely, they are all amateurs.

Unfortunately the amatueurs that we have at the moment are also wildly incompetent

Their Scottish region seems to be having difficulty communicating whom their candidates north of the border are......bizarre really.

Anyway seems that they have pulled out of my constituency (for now) and have substituted someone from the "Trust" party.

Unfortunate title for a political party in the current voters climate methinks.
