The UKIP Daily Press Digest in British Socialists Party Directory

    

The UK Independence Party was formed on 3 September 1993 at the London School of Economics by several members of the AntiFederalist League AFL. The latter had been founded by Dr Sked in November 1991 with the aim of running candidates opposed to the Maastricht Treaty in the 1992 general election. UKIP has grown to have constituency branches around the country, new national headquarters in Newton Abbot, and a national party newsletter, the UK Independence News. It contested the 1994 Euroelections running candidates in 24 out of the 87 seats and secured a highly respectable 157,000 votes. On 28 October 1995 the party held its first annual conference at the LSE which over 500 delegates from all over the UK attended. The second conference was held on 12 October 1996 at Central Hall, Westminster, nearly 1000 delegates attended and excerpts from the speeches were broadcast on all TV channels.
