We Demand a Referendum Now (WDARN) was a minor British political party, launched by independent Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Nikki Sinclaire in June 2012, following her departure from the UK Independence Party (UKIP). It was a single-issue party that sought to force a referendum on British membership of the European Union (EU). [2] [3]
We Demand a Referendum Now was registered with the Electoral Commission in June 2012 by Nikki Sinclaire. The party held its inaugural conference on 5 October 2012. [4]
The party ran a slate of candidates in the West Midlands European Parliament constituency [5] for the 2014 European Parliament elections. It had originally announced plans to stand candidates in every British region. [6] The party received 1.7% of the vote in the West Midlands, and did not win any seats.
We Demand a Referendum aimed to "go beyond party politics" and "do everything within [its] power to enable a referendum". [7] Its leadership accused the EU of being protectionist and called for the creation of a Royal Commission to look into the costs and benefits of EU membership for the United Kingdom. [8]
