The Brexit Party is a hard-Eurosceptic, pro-Brexit, political party in the United Kingdom, formed in 2019. {{As of|2019|April|df=}}, the party's representation consists of nine members of the European Parliament, all of whom were originally elected as UK Independence Party (UKIP) candidates. The party is led by one of these MEPs, former UKIP leader Nigel Farage[4], who announced he would stand as a candidate for the party in any future European Parliament elections, in the event the UK had not left the European Union.[6][7]

Within months of founding, both the party's original leader and treasurer resigned when Islamophobic, anti-semitic and homophobic comments they had made were revealed.

Early months

The party was launched on 20 January 2019 by former UKIP economics spokeswoman[8] Catherine Blaiklock.[9] It was registered with the United Kingdom Electoral Commission on 5 February 2019 to run candidates in any English, Scottish, Welsh and European Union elections.[10][11][6]

On the day of the launch, Nigel Farage, who had been an independent MEP since his departure from UKIP in early December 2018, said that the party was Blaiklock's idea, but that she had acted with his support.[9] In a 24 January 2019 interview, Blaiklock said: "I won't run it without Nigel [Farage], I'm a nobody and I haven't got any ego to say that I am an anybody", and that: "I'm happy to facilitate Nigel and do the donkey work and work for him, but I don't have any illusions as to myself".[12] On 8 February 2019, Farage stated he would stand as a candidate for the party in any potential future European Parliament elections contested in the United Kingdom.[13][14] MEPs Steven Woolfe and Nathan Gill, also formerly of UKIP, stated that they would also stand for the party.[15][16]

On 1 February 2019, Blaiklock told The Daily Telegraph the party had raised £1 million in donations, and that over 200 people have come forward offering to stand for The Brexit Party at the May 2019 European Parliament elections, if the United Kingdom has not left the European Union by then.[17] However, Private Eye reported that opponents of Brexit had applied online as "candidates, activists or donors with false details" to waste the party's time.[18]

After the party's launch, Blaiklock attracted criticism for earlier comments described as Islamophobic.[19] She resigned as party leader on 20 March 2019 over since-deleted anti-Islam messages on Twitter, including re-tweeting messages by far-right figures including Mark Collett, Tommy Robinson and Joe Walsh.[20] Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Farage said he will take over as leader, also saying that Blaiklock was "never intended to be the long-term leader",[21] and that the party "is at the moment a virtual party – it's a website".[22]

In April 2019, the party's treasurer Michael McGough was removed from his position after The Guardian found that he had made antisemitic and homophobic social media posts.[23]

MEPs

By mid-February 2019, seven MEPs had joined the party: Tim Aker, Jonathan Bullock, David Coburn, Bill Etheridge, Nigel Farage, Nathan Gill and Julia Reid. Later in February, they were joined by Paul Nuttall and, by March, Diane James.[24] All were originally elected as UKIP candidates, but all had previously left the party in opposition to Gerard Batten's leadership, mostly in December 2018, although Aker and Etheridge had left earlier in 2018 and James had left in 2016. {{As of|April 2019}}, they all continue to sit in the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy group.[5] MEP and former UKIP member Steven Woolfe has also indicated his support for the party.[15]
