In 2016, The UK voted to leave the EU in a referendum, which was what Farage and the rest of the party wanted from the beginning. Farage stepped down as leader due to finally accomplishing his life-dream and UKIP was now left without both its charismatic leader and its raison d'etre. However, following a widely-perceived watering down of Brexit by Prime Minister [[File:OneNatFem.png]] [[One-Nation Conservatism|Theresa May]] in 2018, UKIP had an opportunity to regain its former momentum. Instead, the party moved more to the fringe right under Gerard Batten, who hired far-right figures like [[File:TomRob.png]] [[Alt-Lite|Tommy Robinson]] and focused more on opposition to [[File:Muslim 2.png]] [[Islamic Theocracy|Islam]]. This caused Farage to leave the party and start another under the name of the "Brexit Party", which took all of UKIP's seats in EU parliament. After the UK officially left the EU in 2020, Farage again retired from politics. However, in June 2024, a month before the 2024 general election, Farage returned to politcs, reclaiming his sport as the Reform Party (formerly named the Brexit Party) 's leader, and standing for election as a MP.

'''[[File:AMWaters.png]] Anne Marie Waters Thought''', alternatively known as '''Watersism''' is the ideology of [[File:Cball-UK.png]] British politician Anne Marie Waters, and her party, [[File:ForBritain.png]] '''For Britain'''.

Waters, after unsuccessfully standing as a [[File:UKLab.png]] [[Social Democracy|Labour]] candidate in 2010, joined the [[File:UKUKIP.png]] [[National Liberalism|United Kingdom Independence Party]] four years later in 2014. She ran for UKIP MP in Lewisham East, coming third place. During her campaign, Waters called for [[File:Islamophobia.png]] {{PCBA|Islamophobia|the closure of mosques and the end for immigration from Muslim countries}}, and for [[File:Cultural_Nationalism.png]] [[Cultural Nationalism|mass deportations]].


In 2016, Waters collaborated with [[File:TomRob.png]] [[Alt-Lite|Tommy Robinson]] in order to create [[File:Pegida.png]] [[Ultranationalism|Pegida UK,]] a offshoot of the German group of a similar name. After the group dissolved, Waters announced her candidacy in the 2017 UKIP leadership election, but came in second place after her main opponent, Henry Bolton, claimed that the UKIP would become the [[File:BritFash.png]] [[British Fascism|"UK Nazi party"]] if she was elected.


Waters left the UKIP and formed the For Britain Movement in 2017 (although she didn't officially register the party into 2018). The For Britain party and Waters are commonly described as [[File:BritUltranat.png]] [[Ultranationalism|ultranationalist]] and far-right. The FBM has had multiple controversies regarding some of its candidates showing [[File:Neonazi_ball.png]] [[Nazism|neo-Nazi]] and [[File:Whitesup.png]] [[White Nationalism|white supremacist]] views. In 2022, Waters announced that the FBM would be ceasing operations, and eventually, Waters rejoined the UKIP the following year.



Former Prime Minister and leader of the [[File:Con-t.png]] [[Conservatism|Tory Party]], [[File:BoJo.png]] [[One-Nation Conservatism|Boris Johnson]] has been cited as espousing populist rhetoric and policies, specifically during his campaigning for [[File:Euroscept.png]] Brexit and the 2019 UK Election. During his premiership, he has implemented [[File:Nativism.png]] stronger limits on immigration based on the point-based system in [[File:Cball-Australia.png]] Australia and [[File:PolState.png]] law and order policies. However, recently he has come into conflict with other right-wing populists over his lockdown restrictions during COVID.
