Of course people vote on policies, Mr K. The Brexit Party doesn't have a manifesto because it is standing for EU elections on the basis that it will get us out of the EU. That is all we need to know about the Brexit Party for that purpose. There is little point anyway in prospective MEPs having a manifesto, because once in Brussels it's the bureaucrats that determine what legislation is put forward, not the politicians. That point seems to have escaped you.

The other point you are ignoring is the intended short duration that UK MEPs are intending to serve.

If the Brexit Party is still fighting elections by the time we get to a General Election, then of course they will have a manifesto, and NG has said as much.
