UKIP

The United Kingdom Independence Party was formed in 1994 by several members of the AntiFederalist League and the party recently got its first elected MP.

What UKIP stand for
UKIP's principal aim is the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. Their manifesto is based upon "Common Sense policies" built on Freedom, Independence and Democracy.

Despite gaining more than 4million votes in the 2015 General Election, the party secured only one seat. However, they found success by leading the winning Leave campaign in the EU Referendum.
