'''Faragism''' is an [[File:Econlib.png]] [[Fiscal Conservatism|economically liberal,]] [[File:PostConbert.png]] civically variable, [[File:SocialConservative.png]] [[Traditionalism|socially conservative,]] and [[File:Nation.png]] nationalist ideology based on the political beliefs of former leader of both [[File:ReformUK.png]] Reform UK (formerly the Brexit Party) and former leader of [[File:UKUKIP.png]] the [[National Liberalism|United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP)]] and Member of the European Parliament Nigel Farage. Farage has
As a life-long Eurosceptic, Farage joined UKIP- a party mainly focused on the secession of the UK from the EU- on its foundation in 1993. He would subsequently be elected as leader of UKIP on two seperate occasions- firstly serving from 2006-2009 and then from 2010-2016. Under his second period of leadership in the 2010s, UKIP would experience a significant growth in support, attracting the growing eurosceptics in the country and defecting [[File:Con-t.png]] Tories who were disappointed in the more liberal direction the party was going under [[File:Cameronism.png]] [[Liberal Conservatism|David Cameron]], alongside former voters of the [[File:BritNeoFash.png]] neo-fascist [[File:BNP.png]] [[British Fascism|British National Party]] who found UKIP easier to stomach due to the latter’s non-fascist background. During this time, UKIP was branded as a [[File:Clib.png]] [[Classical Liberalism|Classical Liberal]]/[[File:Libertarian.png]] [[Libertarianism|Libertarian]] party with nationalistic and populist tendencies. UKIP also caused much controversy, due to their heavy focus on anti-immigration and British nationalism, which caused people to deem them as "racist" and "xenophobic". While not getting any seats in the UK parliament due to the country's FPTP system, it got the third highest popular vote in the 2015 UK election and got the most seats in EU parliament in 2014.
