| In April 2017, a second UKIP AM left the party and joined the Conservative Assembly group without joining the party. |
| The local party kept my vote, but in the Euro elections I went for UKIP for a variety of reasons. |
| Polls nevertheless have put UKIP in first place in the UK, with estimates it could virtually double its seats in Strasbourg. |
| As the party's name suggests, UKIP has always had the politics of national identity at its core. |
| In the 2014 local elections, UKIP won 163 seats, an increase of 128, but did not take control of any council. |
| This lead rose up to approximately 10 points over the Conservative Party during 2012, whose ratings dipped alongside an increase in UKIP support. |
