The "counter-proposal" is basically a restating of UKIP's currently policy that doesn't make sense, has minority support amongst the electorate and is so fundamentally flawed that it could never work. The document contains just about every lie, misconception and misunderstanding about devolution that has been put out by the Big Britishers that oppose devolution.
I have taken apart the "counter proposal" almost line by line (it's that bad) and corrected it. You can read it here.
The message from the party on this rubbish from UKIP Wales is that the NEC supports Union for the Future, the policy committee supports Union for the Future and the leader supports Union for the Future.

I've never heard of UKIP England, nor indeed UKIP Scotland.

"Northern Ireland became part of the UK as what the British government managed to hold on to of Ireland when the Irish Free State won its armed struggle for independence and has always had its own identity, legal system, currency and judiciary."
Which is blatant and loaded bollox. The whole of ireland was part of the UK until Eire got independence. So didn't read further.
I am happy to read worthwhile contributions to the devolution/UK debate - but this is just prejudice cr*p.
