The UK Independence Party consists of ordinary people, from all parts of the political spectrum, who are determined to prevent the UK becoming a province of a bureaucratic European superstate. Launched in 1993, the Party has grown into the 4th largest Party with a national organisation comprising branches throughout the UK. The Party has 3 MEPs.

All other "major" parties endorse UK membership of the European Union . We are the only one committed to maintaining the independence entrusted to us by previous generations. The UK must be prepared to withdraw from the treaties, which bind us to the EU. The UK Independence Party will do exactly that!

The UK Independence Party believes that the best way to challenge the pro-European parties is through the ballot box. UKIP fielded candidates in every seat in the 1999 European elections and gained three MEPs. The UK Independence Party will take votes from the other "major" parties and will keep fighting until it has a majority in Parliament.
