What I Stand For

In my role as an MEP I will seek to protect the UK’s sovereignty and prosperity whilst inside the European Union, while doing all I can to further the case and likelihood of Britain’s withdrawal.

I believe the European Union to be profoundly undemocratic. Between 75% – 80% of all UK law now comes from Brussels, yet it is a Union driven by an unelected and unaccountable Commission.

I also believe that the EU is incredibly bad for our country’s prosperity. We pay £45 million a day to an institution whose accounts haven’t been signed off for 14 years. We do not need the EU to trade freely with our European neighbours and friends. Countries like Norway and Switzerland thrive outside of the EU and so can we.

The EU stops us as a country from negotiating our own trade deals. This is unaccptable. If we leave the EU, we can re-open links with the old Commonwealth countries and trade globally with the likes of Canada, Australia and developing economies like India.

Being in the EU we have open borders with every other EU member state. This has led to a large number of immigrants from poorer EU member states in Eastern Europe coming to the UK, with the government powerless to restrict numbers or choose who can live in Britain and who can’t. This is insanity. The government currently impose immigration controls on those from outside of the EU, but give EU citizens free reign. We in UKIP want to treat everyone looking to migrate to Britain the same, through a work permit scheme as done in countries around the world. Controlled immigration is good for our country, uncontrolled and unfiltered immigration is simply not sensible. online casino norge
