	United Kingdom Independence Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One of UKIP's political goals is to break the pro-European consensus among the three established parties, and prevent the introduction of the euro and the adoption of a European constitution.
		UKIP had hoped to sustain its momentum in the 2005 General Election, but despite fielding 495 candidates, the party failed to achieve as much media coverage as they had enjoyed in the European campaign a year before.
		The BNP has infiltrated UKIP in the past, notably in the cases of Mark Deavin, a UKIP national executive committee member who was exposed as a BNP agent in 1997 [16] and John Brayshaw in 2004 [17].

		UKIP does in general support continuing military cooperation with the USA through NATO [5] (http://www.ukip.org/index.php?menu=manifestoandpage=manifestodefence) but said in 2002 that it could only support a US invasion of Iraq if there was a clear United Nations mandate for such action.
		The UKIP is against the planned introduction of identity cards, believing them to be ineffective as a way of combatting fraud and terrorism, and an infringement of individual liberty [6] (http://www.ukip.org/abc_news/gen12.php?t=1andid=1158).
		The BNP has infiltrated UKIP in the past, notably in the cases of Mark Deavin, a UKIP national executive committee member who was exposed as a BNP agent in 1997 [12] (http://www.searchlightmagazine.com/stories/nickgriffin.htm) and John Brayshaw in 2004 [13] (http://www.thisisyork.co.uk/york/archive/2004/02/06/york_news_local20ZM.html).

		UKIP claims to be touching a public nerve beyond its traditionally strong base in the south of England.
		UKIP is trying to break away from years of internal squabbles over ideology, funding and the purity of its membership lists, where there has been movement between it and the BNP in several well-publicised cases.
		UKIP is not a danger to the United Kingdom (though it may be to the European Union).

	Brownshirts in Blazers? The Rise of UKIP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		UKIP has its origins in the Anti-Federalist League, which was formed in 1991 by Alan Sked, a London School of Economics professor and ardent Thatcherite, to campaign against the European Community (as it then was) and the Maastricht Treaty in particular.
		Thus UKIP’s campaign against the EU concentrates on the alleged threat posed by immigration from Eastern Europe, tying this into a wider xenophobic attack on migrants, asylum seekers and foreigners in general.
		UKIP’s political character is demonstrated not just by its recruits but by its friends in the European Parliament, where it is part of a euro-sceptic alliance which includes the League of Polish Families, a Christian fundamentalist, anti-semitic organisation that attacks the EU as a plot by freemasonry against Christianity.

		UKIP's election campaign was a clear call to get Britain out of the EU The UK Independence Party is to consider giving a clear run at the next General Election to MPs who back British withdrawal from the EU.
		UKIP fielded 434 candidates at the last general election but, buoyed by a strong showing at this June's European polls, is aiming for a full slate next time round.
		UKIP is currently divided between purists who believe the party should contest every seat and those who argue it is harsh to stand against MPs sharing their views on the EU just for the sake of it.

		In an email to another UKIP member, McConnachie wrote: “I don’t accept that gas chambers were used to execute Jews for the simple fact there is no direct physical evidence to show that such gas chambers ever existed….
		Alleged eyewitness accounts are revealed as false or highly exaggerated.” The UKIP leadership publicly defended McConnachie’s right to free speech and restricted itself to suspending him from the executive for a year.

		UKIP is now set to come third in the European elections - yet they have been almost entirely unscrutinised by the British press, waved away as a band of harmless single-issue amateurs.
		UKIP boasts that it now requires all candidates to declare they are not racists.
		Many of the symptoms of far right politics are on display among UKIP and its friends: a paranoid hatred of metropolitan political classes, a belief in dark conspiracies operating in the shadows, and the characterisation of anybody who disagrees with their extreme position as "treacherous" and "disloyal".

		UKIP have called on Mr Hockney to resign his seat on the assembly, claiming he had a 'moral obligation' to step aside and let another candidate from the party stand for the assembly.
		A UKIP spokesman said that in 2003, Mr Hockney had proposed a motion, passed by the party's National Executive Committee, requiring any successful UKIP election candidate who later left the party to resign their seat.
		UKIP members have dubbed the project Vanitas and warned that, "the future's bright, the future's orange" under the well-tanned Mr Kilroy-Silk.

		The decision led to the resignation of the UKIP Somerton and Frome association chairman Peter Bridgwood.
		UKIP South West campaign director Malcolm Wood said the party had been happy for the party not to field a candidate in the constituency, but changed its mind after the Somerton and Frome association issued a press release endorsing Mr Allen.

		The main reason for her resignation is UKIP leader Roger Knapman and his apparent refusal to stand by the terms of his agreement with Petrina, which brought her back into the fold after her original resignation on Friday.
		However, it soon became clear that UKIP leader Knapman had no intention of honouring his part of the deal and in fact had passed word to Nattrass via an intermediary that his position was safe "contingent on his continued good behaviour".
		UKIP, under the "leadership" of Knapman – himself a former Tory MP and whip –may have turned out to have dealt the cause a crippling blow, just at the time when it was most important to present a strong, united face to the public.

		The incredible, untold story of the general election is the effect that UKIP (and to a lesser extent Veritas) has had on the outcome.
		Had UKIP (and Veritas) not intervened (or the Tories had managed the threat), the political environment would have been transformed.
		In effect, UKIP has done more damage to the Tories in this election than in all the other elections combined that it has fought and transformed the political environment.

		He said that UKIP had done well in a great doughnut, so to speak, in places which are not London itself, but which are all around London – the South East, the South West, the Midlands, East Anglia.
		Before we return to UKIP we should of course note that UKIP’s vote was part of a generalised dispersal of support for the major parties, which also benefited the Greens, the BNP and Respect, the left-wing unity coalition.
		If the success of UKIP is based on a long- term reactionary xenophobic campaign in the media, it has also been spurred by long-term political and social factors.

	Why Toby Micklethwait is so optimistic about UKIP \| Samizdata.net
		He was a UKIP local council candidate in the recent elections, and did quite well, that is to say about as well as UKIP candidates did in the rest of the non-London southern part of England.
		UKIP propose pulling us out of the EU, so Whitehall would then be expected to provide farm subsidies - otherwise our farmers couldn't compete with the subsidised EU farmers - the result would be a complete squeeze on UK agriculture.
		UKIP's position is more honest, but it dismisses the possibility that an EFTA-style EU might emerge from the clash between the old Six and the new members which are much more sympathetic to the British outlook.

		When Ukip was charged with xenophobia, he countered robustly that his wife was half-Polish.
		After a month in the political sunshine that saw it dominate coverage of the European elections, Ukip has already had to suspend one of its MEPs, Ashley Mote, who is facing allegations of housing benefit fraud.

		However all the polls show that the UKIP supporters recognise that this is a European election and not a general election.

	VDARE.com: Hype, Hope and Hysteria: UKIP And The BNP Roil Britain’s Euro Election, by Derek Turner
		The UKIP was founded in 1993 by London School of Economics historian Alan Sked and colleagues from the anti-EU Anti-Federalist League.
		But UKIP’s surge probably also has to do with the current controversy over the proposed EU constitution, and the public endorsement of UKIP by celebrities like the actress Joan Collins.
		The reality is that that the BNP, and also UKIP, exist because the major parties have failed to address the genuine concerns of many thousands of people up and down the country—about immigration and also about the abolition of their political expression, the British nation-state.

		The UKIP were the fourth largest party in the European elections in June, gaining 2.7 million votes to the BNP’s 800,000.
		If the UKIP were to take half the BNP vote, but do so because they allowed people to express their anxieties about immigration but without having to vote for a party that is violent and racist, then we should not be frightened of that.”
		Once described as a party of 8,000 with 9,000 egos, the UKIP now has a membership of 25,000 and even more provocative personalities—from Mr Kilroy-Silk’s references to Arabs as “suicide bombers, limb-amputators, women repressors” to the new MEP Godfrey Bloom’s statements that a women’s role was to “clean behind the fridge”.
