Defeated U.K. Independence Party leadership candidate Anne Marie Waters announced she will split from the party and found a new one called For Britain, the Times reported.
Waters lost to Henry Bolton in the recent UKIP leadership election. Known for her hard-line anti-immigration and anti-Muslim positions, Waters said she decided to found the new far-right party after Bolton and former UKIP leader Nigel Farage branded her and her supporters “Nazis and racists.”
“My new party will be different. We will speak to the forgotten people,” Waters said. “I want to hold public meetings in neglected parts of the country. I want a party that is fully committed to speaking to those who are ignored by the rest of politics.”
According to a UKIP spokesperson, the party is “pretty sanguine” about the split.
“We don’t think there is a market for the views Ms. Waters claims, and of course some people support her in the party and some will leave, but, as Henry [Bolton] said, if people have the perspective that Anne Marie [Waters] does, that Islam is evil, then it is not one endorsed by our own constitution,” he told the Times. “Why would we worry about people leaving that disagree with our constitution?”
