UKIP
Farage's former party
UKIP, the UK Independence Party, is a right-wing British political party founded in 1993, primarily advocating withdrawal from the European Union.
The party gained significant support in the 2010s under Nigel Farage and is widely credited with pressuring the Conservative government into holding the 2016 Brexit referendum.
After Brexit passed, the party's influence collapsed.
