United Kingdom Independence Party

The United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) is a political party in the UK, founded in 1993. Its primary goal is to advocate for British independence from the European Union (EU), promoting policies that prioritize national sovereignty and limit immigration. UKIP gained prominence in the 2010s, particularly during the Brexit referendum in 2016, when it played a significant role in the campaign to leave the EU. Although its influence has waned since Brexit, the party remains focused on issues related to national identity, governance, and public services, appealing mainly to voters concerned about immigration and EU regulations.
