UKIP's Ryan Newell (Letters, August 21) says his party will do all sorts of things with the tax system. Actually, it won't. This is because UKIP has no MPs and only five councillors in the entire country.
One had to ask, therefore, just how many paid-up members in Southampton Mr Newell speaks for? Hardly any if his party's dismal performance at the 2005 General Election is anything to go by when it fielded 495 candidates of whom just 37 managed to save their deposits.
A letter-writing campaign is simply not a credible political party.
This bunch were so incompetent they couldn't even change their name without falling foul of the Electoral Commission.
TOM SPRING-SMYTH, Lyndhurst.
