Nigel Farage will launch UKIP's election manifesto today with a direct appeal to struggling working families around the country.
He is trying to draw traditional Labour voters in the north of England, as well as disaffected Conservative voters in the south.
Mr Farage has set a number of pledges to try to entice support, including creating 6,000 police, prison and Border Agency jobs for armed service veterans.
He is also promising to cut rates for small businesses, increase defence spending to 2% of GDP in line with NATO obligations, and introduce an Australian-style points system to manage the number and skills of people coming into the UK.
Mr Farage will argue: "For the first time in 100 years, there is real change on the horizon. All you have to do is vote for it."

The problem for UKIP is that it has relatively inexperienced and understaffed local networks to ensure supporters get to the polls on 7 May.
Although it consistently polls at between 12 and 15%, it does not have the party machinery of either the Conservatives or Labour.
The manifesto launch will also throw red meat to core supporters in what the party calls "serious, fully-costed policies that reflect what UKIP is all about: believing in our country".
The party says it will reduce the burden on the low-paid and unskilled, including a promise to help young people get onto the housing ladder by removing stamp duty on the first £250,000 for new homes built on brownfield sites.
It is also pledging to build a dedicated military hospital and abolish hospital parking charges, stopping what it calls the "the tax on illness".
UKIP is also vowing to invest an extra £12bn in the NHS, with another £5.2bn put into social care.
