UK Independence Party

The UK Independence Party (UKIP) is a British right-wing political party that is best-known for its call for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union and for other policies to control immigration. Its leader is Nigel Farage.

The party won the most UK seats in the 2014 elections to the European Parliament. It also has two representatives in the UK Parliament, both of whom were previously Conservative MPs who defected and resigned to trigger by-elections, which they successfully contested.
