L’impact du UKIP et du Brexit Party sur l’échiquier politique britannique

Abstract

the impact of UKIP pre-referendum, and demonstrates how it gradually moved from the margins to the mainstream, contributing to shaping policy agenda on Europe, framing the political debate and ultimately, to securing the British EU referendum. The second part focuses on the referendum itself, exploring UKIP’s influence on the campaign and on the result, but also conversely the referendum’s impact on UKIP itself. Finally, the third part deals with the post-referendum period and the Brexit Party: its meteoric rise, though short-lived, should not obscure its influence, as the party acted as an electroshock to the British political system and more particularly the Conservative party.
