They will have the opportunity to vote for a nationally relevant party, linking Northern Ireland more closely to the great issues of the day in the rest of the United Kingdom.
“UKIP is much more than a Party – UKIP is a cause – a very worthwhile cause, which I and many others believe in. It’s a cause for people and it’s a cause that many are responding to in good faith.
“I am very proud of the UKIP Candidates Team asking for a number 1 vote at these Assembly Elections. A better bunch of dedicated, hardworking and determined people you couldn’t ask for. Our team of candidates offer a politics based on the needs of the people. Your interests are the same as theirs.
“On May 5, the people of Northern Ireland will have a chance at REAL Change. UKIP is a genuine alternative to the parties and the politics of old that has continually failed us.
