"When people stand up and talk about the great success that the EU has been, I'm not sure anybody saying it really believes it themselves anymore." - Nigel Farage
The National Conservative Party (formerly UKIP) was one of the political parties of the MHoC. The last leader, who shut the party down was Vitiate.
The National Conservatives were generally a decently-sized party outside of The Big Three (Labour, Conservatives, Liberals), competing with the Libertarians for forth.
However, with the turmoil of Brexit and defections to other parties, the parties membership and activity is largely in decline, being currently unable to elect a Deputy Leader since Hazzer1998's resignation of the position and defection to the Liberal Party.
They participated in the first TSR General Election in 2005. A relaunch of the party took place in 2010 on a change of name by the TSR Patriotic Conservative Party founded a year earlier. Despite initially being the smallest party in terms of both MPs and members, the National Conservatives in recent times has been one the most active party with the highest output of legislation when measured per capita, and when measured as a figure.
In January 2018 they changed their name from UKIP to the National Conservatives. However, over six months later under Vitiate, a vote was put to the party that resulted in its closure, marking an end of an era in the Model House of Commons.
