FOLLOWING the festive period gatherings with friends and family I have been challenged on numerous occasions as to why UKIP still exists. 

This has driven the question, ‘With the British public voting to leave the European Union on June 23 2016, is UKIP still relevant?’

The answer is an undoubtedly yes.

Looking back to the 2015 general election UKIP was the only party to produce a fully costed and independently verified manifesto, based upon the principle of leaving the European Union. 

However, it is important to recognise that UKIP is not just a one policy party but that UKIP is a party that believes in low taxation, enterprise and fairness. 

It is a party for those disenfranchised with the current political establishment. 

UKIP is here to ensure the government is held to account and delivers Brexit, not a half-cocked Brexit ‘Lite’ but a Brexit that allows the UK people to take back control of the political establishment and set the foundations for a bright future outside of the debilitating European Union.
