UKIP is a new political party, of traditional values. What does that mean?

• Put simply, it is a party of Common Sense. Whether we like it or not, and in our heart of hearts we all do, we are all born into an extended family called Britain which feels a sense of kinship within itself. It is common sense to want to preserve this family intact and not to merge it with other countries who have their own and different aims and traditions. We must keep our independence and identity.

• It also stands for Small Government – we do not see the role of Government as that of interfering in every last detail of people’s lives ; on the contrary we believe in leaving people to run their own lives as they see fit, and intervening ONLY when abuses are occurring as a result.

UKIP is a NEW party, only formed in 1993. It currently has around 17,000 members, and is getting bigger. It is smaller than the much older “big three”, which are, however, shrinking rapidly. Tory and Labour have around 200,000 members a piece and the Lib Dems around 70,000 members.

In the Reigate branch which covers Redhill, Salfords and Merstham we have a dedicated team of people who are passionate about restoring local control over our town and being able to make decisions on what we want rather than an unelected bunch of people in Brussels. Please join us in this fight.
