I was going to point out that UK Green party supports a basic income, but now I find that they have dropped it from their 2015 manifesto.

It's not clear yet that they have dropped it; I think a lot of reporters jumped the gun after some (typically) careless comments.

The Greens' "basic income" is only a partial one, though; most notably it's set at a level that couldn't possibly replace Housing Benefit, and so doesn't avoid the welfare trap.
