UK Independence Party

The UK Independence Party is a Eurosceptic, right-wing populist political party in the United Kingdom, although they describe themselves as liberal, patriotic and democratic. The party reached its greatest level of success in the mid-2010s, when it gained two members of Parliament and was the largest party representing the UK in the European Parliament. UKIP originated as the Anti-Federalist League, a single-issue Eurosceptic party established in London by Alan Sked in 1991. It was renamed UKIP September 3, 1993.
