UKIP Come 2nd Nationally and Advance to 3rd in Yorkshire!
Well it was a very good night for UKIP, beating Labour into 3rd place and picking up new MEPs in Wales and the West Midlands.
More closer to home, Godfrey Bloom retained his seat in Yorkshire coming 3rd and UKIP wasn't that far away from taking a second seat in Yorkshire.
Congratulations to the UKIP national, regional and local teams in rallying such good support and taking one further step towards UK Independence.

What a Response!
Well we had a massive boost to the EU election campaign after holding two stalls in Halifax and Bradford. We handed out thousands of leaflets and got a really good response from the public.
We had many people pledge to vote for us (or had already voted for us - postal votes)
People took leaflets, stickers and policy booklets. Everybody was annoyed with the major parties and were pleased to see us out and about actually talking to people.
The Greens and NO2EU also had stalls when we were there in Halifax, but we were the only ones that stayed all day!
Interesting to see none of the main parties dared to show their face the weekend before the election. If they had, I think they would have been lynched....
Only thing left to do now is....
VOTE UKIP on the 4th JUNE!!!!!

UKIP Bradford on the Expenses Scandle
Please find UKIP Bradford Chairman Jason Smith's published letters on the current expenses scandle & below what UKIPs proposals are on shaking up the system
"Where are the morals?" (T&A)
//www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/search/4371026.Where_are_the_morals_/
"A show of inegrity" (T&A)
http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/search/4367467.A_show_of_integrity/
"Do these MPs have any morals?" (Halifax Courier)
http://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/mailbag/Do-these-MPs-have-any.5275653.jp
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECALL POLICY:
"...this won't solve the problems over the greed of MPs getting their snouts in the trough, the moat cleaning, the houses and the dog biscuits, but it will allow us to do something about it. We'll be able to do something to the people who have done this with our hard earned money that we've had to pay in taxes, to punish them."
"In California for example, if 12% of the voters at the previous election sign a petition asking for a new election then there will be one. There doesn't have to be a specific reason, simply if enough of the voters think that they deserve to choose again then they can indeed choose again."
See the full article:
http://www.ukip.org/content/latest-news/1046-terminate-sleaze-with-total-recall
SWEDISH EXPENSE SYSTEM:
“In Sweden, second homes in Stockholm for members who live outside the capital are provided by the Riksdag (Swedish Parliament) and let to the MPs free of charge”, said UKIP Chairman Paul Nuttall. Swedish MPs who choose to live in apartments they have found themselves receive a flat 7,000 Krona, the equivalent of under £600 a month, and they cannot claim for improvements to that accommodation."
“This system would put a stop to British MPs climbing the property ladder and making huge sums of money at the expense of the taxpayer,” said Mr Nuttall, who is also UKIP’s number one candidate for the European election in the North West.
"Also in Sweden MPs travel expenses are covered by parliament but journeys must be undertaken in the cheapest possible way. And they must be booked through the parliamentary travel office”

Message from the Chairman - Campaigning Days!
As the Euro Elections are nearly upon us, I was looking to organise 2 street stalls, one in Bradford city centre and one in Halifax city centre, probably between 11am – 3pm on:
Saturday 23rd May
Saturday 30th May
I would need at least 2 others in order to do each stall, but the more people the better, the more people we have the more people we can talk to!
Please let me know which dates you can help out with, or possibly both – we will advise which date is in which area depending on how many helpers come forward from each area.
With UKIP at 19% in the polls, this is expected to be the best result of all time for us and we could return record numbers of MEPs. Any time you can spare would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason
