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, leaving UKIP 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 spot as the Reform Party (formerly named the Brexit Party) 's leader, and standing for election as a MP.
▲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.
