More on United Kingdom Independence Party
Description from Wikipedia:
The United Kingdom Independence Party (commonly known as UKIP, pronounced: /ˈjuːkɪp/ roughly yoo-kip) is a conservative, Eurosceptic British political party. Its principal aim is the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. UKIP currently holds thirteen seats in the European Parliament and two in the House of Lords (both due to the defection of Conservative peers). It also has around 100 local councillors on principal authorities, town and parish councils. It claimed a membership of 15,878 on 31 December 2007.
The party's policy is that the United Kingdom "shall again be governed by laws made to suit its own needs by its own Parliament, which must be directly and solely accountable to the electorate of the UK."
In the 2004 European elections, UKIP received 2.7 million votes (16.1% of the national vote), gaining twelve seats in the European Parliament, although two of those were later expelled from the party after allegations of fraud, and one resigned from the party after internal conflicts.
In the 2005 general election, the party received 603,298 votes (2.2% of the national vote). And in the 2009 European elections, UKIP came second in the UK, beating the governing Labour Party. UKIP increased its share of the vote by 0.4% (to 16.5%) giving it a total of thirteen seats in the European Parliament.
