UKIP: Where Are The Big Policy Announcements?

"No to coalition," says UKIP leader Nigel Farage.

It sounds more defiant than when I last asked him about coalition.

At his party conference in Doncaster in September Mr Farage said he would "do a deal with the devil" for an EU referendum - even at the prospect of propping up a Miliband government.

Now Mr Farage says "no to any coalition deals with the establishment parties" although the line above in his article in The Daily Telegraph says: "No to propping up a government that refuses us an immediate referendum."

As if, perhaps if they did offer that, he would prop up an establishment party.

It has left me confused. Has his position changed or not?

While we ponder this, we do get a few policies which thus far are all good news policies - no bedroom tax or mansion tax, no tuition fees for students who choose useful subjects such as science and medicine and a scrapping of hospital parking fees.

Again, it's not clear yet, but I suspect UKIP will say the cost of all this will be covered by leaving the EU and cutting international aid.

But we're still waiting for UKIP's big policy announcements on deficit reduction, education and protecting the NHS and we can't take any clues from the 2010 manifesto as Mr Farage has disowned every word of it. (Beat that, Nick Clegg, with your one U-turn!)

One thing is very clear. Mr Farage has a red line - and it is the EU. But we have known that for some time. Let's hear the rest.
