Today, Bucks County Council has no real power. They have to do what they are told by central government and of course the European Union. With over 75% of UK laws coming from Brussels, the EU is now at the centre of everything the British Government does. Trade, Post Office closures, VAT, fuel taxes, immigration, policing and farming are all controlled by the EU.

The total economic cost of being in the EU is equivalent to £873 per person, per year. The two richest countries in Europe are Norway and Switzerland and they aren’t even in the EU.

UKIP say it’s time to leave the EU and put Britain back on the map, trading freely across the globe.

TAX: UKIP proposes a ‘Flat Tax’ – a single low rate of tax for all that applies only to anything you earn over £10,000 per year. Flat Tax could save you £1,000 per year. UKIP would scrap Inheritance Tax, the tax on death. No tax on minimum wage.

HEALTH: We don’t train enough doctors and nurses in the UK, then rely on hiring foreign staff to work in our British hospitals such as Wycombe Hospital. This robs third world countries of essential lifesavers. Yet many UK doctors go abroad to earn a better wage. The UK government pumps more money into the NHS year on year, but extra bureaucracy drains that money away. Put nurse training back in hospitals, not university classrooms. We need to train enough UK doctors. Fund the NHS for treating patients, locally run cleaner hospitals and pay NHS staff a fair wage to keep them in the UK. UKIP will scrap all NHS prescription charges to come into line with Scotland and Wales. UKIP would also scrap all parking charges at Wycombe General Hospital.

IMMIGRATION: Our UK Government doesn’t even know how many immigrants are in the UK, thanks to no border controls. Those committing serious crimes are rarely deported after serving their sentences. UKIP would freeze permanent immigration for five years. We would deport immigrants who commit crimes and find and deport illegal immigrants. UKIP would introduce work permits only for UK economic needs and keep our proud tradition of helping genuine asylum seekers who fear for their lives.

DEMOCRACY: Do you have an opinion on abortion, euthanasia, animal rights or the death penalty? Your MPs decide these moral issues on a free vote – making it almost impossible for you to use your vote to make a difference. Young people in the Wycombe district often don’t bother to vote because they don’t think their vote can change anything. That’s why UKIP believes that we should let our citizens get involved in democracy. We would let the people of Wycombe district call referenda on key issues, leave the EU and let’s govern ourselves and say no to political correctness.

CRIME: Crime in the district is out of control, law abiding citizens fear for their safety and criminals are released early, or on bail, to commit more crimes. UKIP would scrap the Human Rights Act. Our police now enforce minor motoring offences more rigorously than shoplifting or assault. UKIP would put even more police back on the beat and give the people the vote on police priorities.

EDUCATION: Education should be about excellence, giving our children the best possible chance. UKIP would introduce student grants and not student loans. We would say no to school playing field closures. UKIP would also give tests in the three Rs and scrap the SATS.

DEFENCE: UKIP would save our warships, add another 25,000 troops, give better military equipment and introduce proper medical care for our armed forces.

TRANSPORT: Our Wycombe District roads are gridlocked, many of our citizens cannot use public transport because there aren’t enough routes. Our motorists feel penalised for using their cars. Tax on petrol is currently around 180% and speed cameras and parking fines are over used, generating easy revenues. UKIP would reopen rail lines and stop persecuting motorists with huge tax rises and over-zealous enforcement.

ENVIRONMENT: Obsession with carbon emissions is getting in the way of sensible measures to protect our environment. Wind Farms work only 30% of the time yet hydroelectric power is safe and reliable. We waste fuel sending goods to China for recycling. UKIP says invest in new technology to cut all emissions, not just CO2.
