  Firstly Marek, unlike Labour and the Cons, UKIP do not have the backing of big business or the Unions. As political parties go we are small fry when it comes to having any financial clout. Basically, after the enormous costs associated with campaigning in the European and General Election we are pretty much skint. And, yes, the UKIP MEP`s do put their hands in their own pockets to donate funds for the party.
  
  They also have to fund staff and office costs in Europe so why shouldn`t they get some of our own money back. I daresay they even have lives and personal expenses back home, mortgages etc. (as we all do! )
  
  At the end of the day, if they didn`t take what they are fully entitled to, the EU would soon find alternative ways to waste that money anyway.
