UKIP (UK Independence Party)

UKIP, or the UK Independence Party, is a political party in the United Kingdom that primarily advocates for the country to leave the European Union (EU). Established in 1993, UKIP promotes policies emphasizing national sovereignty, reducing immigration, and minimizing the UK's ties with the EU. While it gained significant attention during the Brexit referendum in 2016, UKIP's influence has fluctuated over time. The party appeals to voters seeking greater control over immigration and national decisions, often positioning itself as a eurosceptic alternative to the major political parties.
