About Us


WELCOME   to the United Kingdom Independence Party Woking website, specializing in news and events relevant to the Woking constituency. Woking forms part of UKIP's North West Surrey Branch.   Surrey Heath constituency is also part of the same branch, but has a separate website here.

The UK Independence Party is committed to withdrawing Britain from the European Union. As the debate on the Lisbon Treaty has now made clear, the EU agenda is complete political union with all the main functions of national government taken over by the bureaucratic institutions of Brussels. UKIP believes that this is not only bad for Britain's economy and prosperity, but it is an undemocratic system of government that will ultimately prove to be totally unacceptable to the British people.

We believe that Britain should be an independent self-governing nation and not part of a European Federal Superstate. We welcome support from people who believe in british parliamentary democracy. We are campaigning not just to get control of our country back from Brussels, but in the process, to bring about more local democracy, fairness, and the chance for ordinary people to choose, rather than just be told by unelected bureaucrats. The party has a full compliment of domestic and international policies, covering all the main issues that affect Britain today. In addition we have local policies that we contend will make the Woking area a better place to live, work and enjoy.   Come, join us and help us make a difference!
