UKIP made a direct overture to below the line internet commenters with a manifesto aimed at winning the votes of Guido readers today. The party pledged a series of reforms based on campaigns run by this blog over the last five years, including ending the booze subsidy for Commons bars and cutting the cost of SpAds:

UKIP even went as far as proposing referenda on the most popular internet petitions: a Clarkson Bill.

Yet there were still many policies which Guido readers will oppose, including Labour-lite proposals on tax avoiders, the NHS, welfare, zero hours contracts and the bedroom ‘tax’ from the Red UKIP wing of the party.
