SHOULD parties be wary of the rise of UKIP when they have policies like these? The UKIP leader said it is party policy for hand guns to be legalised and licensed in the UK despite being banned for the last 18 years. Mr Farage said the current ban on the guns, which were made illegal following Dunblane in 1996, was “ludicrous.”

Footage recently emerged of Mr Farage saying he would feel more comfortable if Britain’s healthcare system was opened up to the marketplace. Speaking to UKIP supporters just two years ago, Mr Farage said: “I think we are going to have to move to an insurance-based system of healthcare”.

Nigel Farage has suggested that people should speak English on trains in Britain as lots of foreigners speaking different languages can make people feel awkward. In an interview in Newsweek Europe, Mr Farage said he wanted to control the quantity and quality of people who come... people who do not have HIV”.

Mr Farage has said it is time to stop opposing Vladimir Putin’s incursion into Ukraine and join forces with the Russian leader in the fight against Islamic extremists. Plaid is the only party in Wales who can represent the whole of Wales. I have been thinking of standing for the next Assembly election.
