DURING the European Elections, people in Torfaen voted for UKIP in large numbers – they voted for change. We hope that support will continue into the General Election in 2015. We in UKIP are not about being left or right, but are about right and wrong.

For too long we have tolerated being lied to by politicians who have ensured that the only interests they have served are their own. In the lead up to the Elections in 2015, we will hope to convince you that voting for UKIP will be a start in making sure that we, the people of the UK, are able to make our own laws and govern ourselves. We pay £55 million a day to the EU and then have to beg them for handouts! We also give out £28 million a day in overseas aid! Why is it that people have to go to food banks and we give that kind of money away?

On top of that, we pay child benefit to children of immigrants who do not live here, and they are now being paid unemployment benefit – paid by us – even when they return home.
