Let's face it. The UK has passed its peak, no longer the world-dominating head of an empire and declining as an economic superpower. Sure, it is a fantastic country - I won't refute that - free speech and equality are two things which people come from all over the world to enjoy here. But surely the UK needs to be part of an EU-wide club, not only to be ever-so-selfless and help out needy Eastern European countries, but to stay relevant in a world which is changing quickly and threatens to leave the poor Brits behind.
Besides scare stories about the dysfunctionality and corruption of the EU system, can UKIP honestly persuade people that it is better to leave Britain out of a club that could act as a safety net in future years?
They seem particularly insistent to say that they are not racist:
'Libertarian, non-racist party seeking Britain's withdrawal from the European Union.' - the UKIP website.
If you have seen some of their adverts, you might believe otherwise (talk about scaremongering bullshit): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvkhtC-2fxc. Please do not take every 'fact' stated in the broadcast at face value.
The EU is, of course, not perfect, but leaving is clearly not the way to improve it or Britain.
