Faragism

Faragism is the ideology of Nigel Farage, former leader of UKIP. It is economically and culturally right-wing, nationalist and highly Eurosceptic.

History
During his school years, Farage was active in the youth group of the Tory Party and an admirer of  Enoch Powell. In 1992 he left the Tories after they signed the "Treaty on European Union" under John Major. A year later he joined the "Anti-Federalist League", later to be known as UKIP, and was then elected into EU parliament in 1999. In 2006 he became elected as leader of the party with 45% of the vote. Originally a single-issue eurosceptic party, under him UKIP moved more to the right and became increasingly  populist, while economically being influenced by  Classical Liberalism/ Libertarianism. The party would also focus more on Bri'ish nationalism and being anti-immigration, causing tons of people to label them as "racist" and "xenophobic". While not getting any seats in UK parliament due to the country's FPTP system, it still got the third highest popular vote in the 2015 UK election and gained the most seats in EU parliament in 2014. This added more pressure on David Cameron on doing a referendum on whether the UK should stay in the EU. On 2016 the referendum was casted with the leave side of the campaign winning. Now after accomplishing his life goal, Farage decided to step down as leader of UKIP with the rest of the party left in a weird position on where to go next. However due to Theresa May's delays on Brexit, UKIP could now see a second-boost from this. But instead, the party moved more to the fringe right under Gerard Batten, who hired far-right figures like Tommy Robinson and focused more on  opposition to Islam. This caused Farage to leave the party and start another under the name of the "Brexit Party", which took all of UKIP's seats in EU parliament. Now that the UK has finally left the EU, as of 2021, Farage has now officially retired from politics. After he left, the BRexit Party's Name was changed to Reform UK.
