Daryll Pitcher, UKIP’s Parliamentary Candidate for the Isle of Wight, has today (Friday) released his own personal manifesto for the Island ahead of next week’s General Election.
Entitled ‘A common sense revolution’, the document explains in detail how Mr Pitcher sees the future of the Island and how UKIP national policy would directly affect the Island.
Daryll has said:
“There is no doubt that the Island continues to face many significant challenges. Services are not what they could be and some of the most important to us such as St Mary’s are under significant threat.
“Social Care must be a priority for the next Government and it is vital for us with our demographically older than average population that they get it right.
“Transport remains an issue whether that be travel to or from the mainland or around the Island itself.
“Education, while improving in certain areas faces significant problems in others. We are still faced with trying to improve job prospects and raising wages to a more sustainable level closer to the national and regional averages and we need to rebalance the economy to provide employment on a year round basis rather than remaining seasonal as much of it is at present.
“I believe that UKIP and I have the answers to these and the other problems we face. Perhaps most importantly I will ensure that the EU Referendum result where 62% of Islanders voted Leave is implemented in full. On this I do not subscribe to the idea that Theresa May is ‘sound’. When her record is studied it is clear she has a history of changing tack on the EU and many other things. If you vote for me I will not allow her the leeway to wriggle out of a full implementation of Brexit including ending Free Movement of People and no longer being a member of the Single Market”.
