Ukip comes in from the cold
The Guardian, 27/11/2012, p.6, John Harris
In 1991, an LSE historian and academic called Alan Sked formed the Anti-Federalist League, a group-cum-party opposed to the Treaty of Maastricht, the agreement that formally established what we now know as the European Union. Two years later, it became the UK Independence party. In 1995, it held its first national conference, which drew 500 people. At the general election of 1997, it was rather overshadowed by the late Sir James Goldsmith's Eurosceptic Referendum party, though with his death later that year, Ukip quickly found itself at the forefront of non-Tory Euroscepticism.
