How you would spend £45 million a day -the results.



If you have an e-mail address, you will have received a question from team@ukipsw last week asking how you think £45 million a day, that we currently "donate" to the European Union, could be better spent.
With your fantastic response we are starting to collate the information in order to feed the UKIP Prospective Parliamentary Candidates in the South West with a democratic view of how the people of the South West think this money could be better spent instead of EU membership. This will be a powerful tool with your help.

You will see the poll on the left of this page, listing the top ten, and instant results are available by clicking Results. Below, not in any order, is the full list of all the responses suggested.
