There back to their former glory in membership. After three "Anti-PC" YouTube British celebrities join their party weeks ago.
And for people seeing Guardian article here. The website for checking bias are updating their page last month by moving them to center-left.

Well they did just recently, and with great fanfare, restore the memberships of twitter's two most famous British racists.
A couple years back that alone would have been a 15% surge.
15% of 100 people isnt that much tbh
HAVE YOU COCKNEY TWATS LEARNED NOTHING?
This is a result of Boilrig pushing his facepunch agenda
Ah good. More names for the "put in the deepest darkest hole we can find" list.
Imagine thinking joining UKIP actually does anything but make you look like a huge racist lmao.
What are you talking about
UKIP is the laughing stock of Britain, we don't need to "learn" anything
Hey weren't there all these people here telling me that Count Dankula wasn't alt-right?
So the recent Brexit failings on the Tories’ part pushed people to the UKIP? (Among other things)
As a yank, I’m not really tuned in all that well to UK political parties; are the UKIP basically an even more right wing group than Tories?
He has a cunt face.
Paul Joseph Watson, Sargon of Akkad and count dankula; truly the intellectual endorsement any party would want
The Tories have plenty of issues to say the least but UKIP is for people who genuinly don't even see the worst tories as right wing enough
Whatever happened to that other far right party? The BNP? I feel like I used to hear about them more years ago. There was that one incident where all their members names were leaked
They were socially ostracised into oblivion.
BNP crumbled like National Front and Combat 18 before it. Radical elements turned to Britain First or other far right groups (like the neo nazi group which was banned), moderate elements joined the renegade tories in UKIP.
UKIP is an odd beast. It's leadership is near exclusively hardcore tories who are right wing (as in socially conservative + authoritarian + economically liberal) they're pro private education and private healthcare. It's big on climate change denial and lowering corperate taxes.
It's membership and council members tend to be a mix of people like the leadership (like radical tories) but also a load of centrist/left wing economic view peeps who have been won over by the social conservatism, nationalism, anti immigrant stuff.
It does well to appeal to a number of demographics: Hardcore conservatives, alt right types, anti establishment (its an underdog party/people tired of the mainstream parties), nationalists, pro globalists (people in favour of freer trade with places like US or china), anti globalists (people who lost their factory/fishing jobs to other countries) (lol)
Lots of Labour (left wing party) voters moved to UKIP for it's anti immigrant/anti EU stuff - but their support is being lent to hardcore right wing economic policies.
I guess you could compare UKIP to Republicans, Tories to Democrats and Labour to Bernie - but the overton window is further left in europe, so economic centrist in Europe/UK is probably right wing in the USA. eg Keynesian capitalism is seen by many right wing americans as a left wing thing, when really it is deffo economically right wing.
They fell apart after committing a terrorist attack.
I recall someone saying they're actually leftist.
He's said his views align more with communism than with anything else before in the past IIRC
He's likely a dope who doesn't really know what anything political is it might seem
i don't think it was even really that, it's just that they were the designated whipping boy so UKIPers and Conservatives could say "i'm not with them, so i can't be racist". so of course its members gradually got fed up and went to greener pastures... like UKIP.
He seems more like a complete moron who will latch onto whatever ideology will give him the time of day.
A dude with a hammer and sickle tattoo joining UKIP is the definition of "politically clueless".
Sargon has also said he's a classical liberal (and he has before said he's left wing), and god knows what kind of enlightenment BJWatson is facing.
So kids, always remember that what people say about their political beliefs doesn't always match up with what they actually believe
His or other known YouTuber's definition of "Classical Liberalism" as they thought was more interchangeable to Economical Liberalism but actually is more closer to Right-wing lean Libertarianism when comes to social issues.
I thinks mostly final latter for cashing in Anti-SJW train in YouTube.
And he before join UKIP, His twitter account description was said he self-subscribed "Scottish Nationalist that hate SNP" type before changing it.
Huh, I guess he must have been who J K Rowling was talking about when she said Scottish nationalists can be bigots.
Most of his political beliefs are purely hypothetical and have no influence over his thinking in reality. Fighting the Marxist SJW Illuminati is such a high priority that he will betray any idea or
belief that gets in the way of it without hesitation. The main reason why he hangs on to that "classical liberal" stuff is because he's self-conscious about where he is in comparison to SJWs
and the far right, and he doesn't actually have very much to stand out.
SNP have their own brand of civic nationalism which is much softer than your typical British/English nationalist party. Dankula can't join UKIP and still claim to be a Scottish nationalist, the two are incompatible.
Pretty sure this same mentality applied to Trump in the start, and we all know how well that turned out.
That test is meaningless due to how badly worded the questions are
