I DON’T understand why a party like UKIP is so appealing to South Wales when the party is made up of Maggie Thatcher fans, former Tory voters and members.

Their biggest selling point is attracting really right wing Tory MPs. If UKIP ever got into bed with the Tories, people will see their benefits cut, less spending on the NHS and public sector in general and an even tougher bedroom tax.
