UKIP promises to scrap the tax on the minimum wage, and at the same time lift the threshold to at least 13,000 pounds (about $19,000).

The party pledged to support the National Health System with an extra 3 billion pounds a year.

UKIP pledged to spend 2 percent of the GDP on defense and create 6,000 jobs for veterans. The manifesto also promised to provide voters with the power to recall members of parliament.

On the spending side, the party hopes to save 32 billion pounds by abandoning contributions to the EU budget and cutting the international aid budget.

Toughened immigration control, including a 5-year moratorium on unskilled immigration and a rapid referendum on EU membership remain among the key priorities of the party.

According to a BBC tracker that measures public support for the parties, the two major rivals in the upcoming elections are the Conservative Party and the Labour party, accounting for potential 34 percent of UK votes each. UKIP polls third with 14 percent of the ballot.
