As a family man living in Portskewett. I have witnessed the extra cost of the Assembly Government first hand.

My Local Council Tax has more than doubled since the Assembly's inception in 1999. As a parent of two children I would prefer to see the £880,000 paid every year to South East Wales Assembly Members spent on teachers and new schools.

How many times do we read of schools closing due to lack of funds, whilst the Welsh Government was able to find £68 million to build an unnecessary new Assembly Building. What was wrong with the one they already had?

We now have five tiers of Government to support (remember they are not supporting us, we are supporting them through our taxes). We have the European Parliament, the Westminster Parliament, the Welsh Assembly, Local Government and the Community Councils. All living off you the taxpayer.

A vote for UKIP is a vote for less government, fewer politicians and more policemen, nurses, teachers and doctors.

People we really need.

Our aim is to reduce bureaucracy and the ever increasing amounts of regulation and legislation by abolishing the Welsh Assembly and withdrawing from the European Union. These are no pipe dreams. Only 25.3 percent of the Welsh population voted for an Assembly and? 58 percent of the UK wants immediate withdrawal from the European Union.

We would return to a " trading partnership with our friends in Europe".

The UK Independence Party proposes a Welsh National Council which will be made up of the 40 MPs we already pay for at Westminster. These would meet one week in every four to discuss any new legislation which might affect Wales differently to England and to draft proposals for Wales which would be debated at Westminster.

UKIP is the only major Party which believes mass immigration is unsustainable and will lead to a destabilisation of the way of life for the indigenous population and those already domiciled here.

UKIP believes in a strictly controlled immigration policy. We would reinstate our island borders, (only possible if we regain our independence from the European Union).

Any potential immigrant would be checked for possible criminal records.

Medical records would be scrutinised, as would whatever skills they may have to offer. They would be expected to show an ability to sustain themselves until they are in gainful employment.
