In many ways UKIP would be a sensible choice for your vote....in many ways except defence. The UKIP's defence manifesto is completely barking mad....

1. Don't scrap the carriers...in fact, order another one and have 3.

2. Double the size of the TA.

3. Withdraw from Iraq.

4. Replace Trident.

5. Restore traditional regiments.

6. To increase the Air Force’s capabilities by enlarging the tanker fleet,
modernising the transport fleet, buying more helicopters and 50 extra JSF
aircraft, and increasing RAF personnel to 50,000.



Like I said.....mad as a fish.
