I don't know about any of their other policies but what puts me off voting for them is the current voting system of first past the post which means where I live, Labour win regardless and all the other votes are wasted.
I quite agree. We had the chance to (start) making changes to our voting system with the AV referendum but bottled it when the big 2 campaigned against 'cos it would upset their cosy club. So if we really want some change the only option is to vote in huge numbers for an alternative. I will vote UKIP in future and hope we make an impact. (Wouldn't it be funny if Lab/Con decided THEY would like to change the voting system!)
