The United Kingdom Independence Party aka [[File:UKUKIP.png]] [https://polcompball-anarchy.fandom.com/wiki/Faragism UKIP]. As its name states, was a party mainly focused on the secession of the UK from the EU, led by Nigel Farage. Originally branded as a [[File:Clib.png]] [[Classical Liberalism|Classical Liberal]]/[[File:Libertarian.png]] [[Libertarianism|Libertarian]] party with nationalistic and populist tendencies. They started to gain traction in the 2010s, 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]]. They also caused tons of 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 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. In 2016, The UK voted to leave the EU, 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 stuck in a weird position because of it. However due to Theresa May's delays on Brexit, UKIP could now see a second-boost from this. But instead, the party moved more to the fringe right under Gerard Batten, who hired far-right figures like [[File:Ultranat.png]] [[Ultranationalism|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. Now that the UK has finally left the EU, as of 2021, Farage is now officially retired from politics.
Current 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 rheotric and policies, especially during his campaigning for [[File:Euroscept.png]] Brexit. However he firmly rejects the label and is more moderate than most examples.
