The UK Independence Party (UKIP)

The UK Independence Party (UKIP) is a political party in the United Kingdom, founded in 1993. It primarily advocates for British withdrawal from the European Union, promoting national sovereignty and reduced immigration. UKIP gained significant attention during the 2010s, especially leading up to the 2016 Brexit referendum, where it played a crucial role in the campaign for leaving the EU. Although its influence has waned since Brexit was achieved, UKIP remains known for its right-leaning policies and has historically attracted voters concerned about immigration and EU governance.
