REGISTER OF POLITICAL PARTIES : UK Independence Party (UKIP)

Since the introduction of the Registration of Political Parties Act 1998 every party has to be registered with the Electoral Commission. There were numerous reasons for this, partly because of the introduction of list systems in devolved Government and also because of the growth in the 1990s of deliberately misleading party names such as the Literal Democrats and the Conversative Party. Further information about each political party is available at https://search.electoralcommission.org.uk/.
