Reform UK is a populist political party in the United Kingdom. It was founded as the Brexit Party in November 2018, and was renamed on 6 January 2021. The party was founded by Nigel Farage and Catherine Blaiklock with the stated purpose of advocating for Brexit. Prior to the UK's withdrawal from the European Union (EU), the party had 23 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs). Its largest electoral success was winning 29 seats and the largest share of the national vote in the 2019 European Parliament election in the United Kingdom . The Brexit Party's priority was for Britain to withdraw from the EU, and to move to World Trade Organisation trading rules if a free trade agreement were not agreed upon. It described this as "a clean-break Brexit", more commonly known as a " no-deal Brexit ". Generally described as populist, it drew its support from those who were frustrated with the delayed implementation of the 2016 referendum decision, and wished to leave the EU without remaining part of the EU's Single Market or Customs Union. Many of its supporters were formerly of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) – Farage having led UKIP from 2006 to 2009 and from 2010 to 2016 – as well as from the Conservative Party, including high-profile defectors such as Ann Widdecombe and Annunziata Rees-Mogg.
