REUTERS: UKIP on Track to Top Europe Vote - http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/05/21/uk-eu-election-britain-idUKKBN0E11NO20140521
DAILY MAIL: UKIP on Course for Unprecedented Victory - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2635989/Decision-time-Ukip-course-unprecedented-victory-polling-stations-open-local-European-elections.html
HUFFPO: Lib Dems Face Wipe-Out - http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/05/22/ukip-european-elections_n_5370459.html
For those unfamiliar with Nigel Farage and UKIP:
What We Stand For
A vote for UKIP is a vote to leave the EU and recover power over our national life.
Free trade, but not political union, with our European neighbours. We are the EUs largest export market: they depend on us for jobs - not the other way around.
Binding local and national referenda, at the publics request, on major issues.
Protect Our Borders
Regain control of our borders and of immigration - only possible by leaving the EU.
Immigrants must financially support themselves and their dependents for 5 years. This means private health insurance (except emergency medical care), private education and private housing - they should pay into the pot before they take out of it.
A points-based visa system and time-limited work permits.
Proof of private health insurance must be a precondition for immigrants and tourists to enter the UK.
Save £55m a day in membership fees by leaving the EU and give British workers first crack at the 800,000 jobs we currently advertise to EU workers.
No tax on the minimum wage.
Enrol unemployed welfare claimants onto community schemes or retraining workfare programmes.
Scrap HS2, all green taxes and wind turbine subsidies.
Develop shale gas to reduce energy bills and free us from dependence on foreign oil and gas - place the tax revenues into a British Sovereign Wealth Fund.
UKIP will abolish inheritance tax. Inheritance tax brings in under £4bn - less than a third of what we spend on foreign aid. The super-rich avoid it, while modest property owners get caught by it. It hits people during a time of grief and UKIP will budget in its 2015 spending plans to completely abolish this unfair death tax.
Make cuts to foreign aid that are real and rigorous.
Safeguard Against Crime
No cuts to front line policing.
Make sentences mean what they say.
No votes for prisoners - thats what losing your liberty means.
Prevent foreign criminals entering the UK - by re-introducing border controls that the EU forced us to abandon.
Scrap the European Arrest Warrant, which sends British citizens to foreign jails without evidence, just to answer questions - replace it with a proper extradition system.
Remove the UK from the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights.
Care And Support For All
Open GP surgeries in the evening, for full-time workers, where there is demand.
Locally-elected County Health Boards to inspect hospitals - to avoid another Stafford Hospital crisis.
Prioritise social housing for people whose parents and grandparents were born locally.
Allow the creation of new grammar schools.
Make welfare a safety net for the needy, not a bed for the lazy. Benefits only available to those who have lived here for over 5 years.
Free Speech and Democracy
No to Political Correctness - it stifles free speech.
The law of the land must apply to us all. We oppose any other system of law.
Teach children positive messages and pride in their country. We want to unite through better integration.
UKIP is a patriotic party that believes in putting Britain first. Only UKIP will return self-government to the British people.
