The Populist Party is a minor political party in the United Kingdom registered in 2001. In 2014 it was merged with the Populist Alliance, known until 2013 as the Popular Alliance, which was formed in March 2006 by former members of other small political parties, particularly Veritas.
Brian Buxton, leader of the Popular Alliance, was a Stretton parish councillor for 8 years, but in August 2013 he defected to UKIP and resigned as a councillor that October. Buxton stood in Stretton in an East Staffordshire Borough Council by-election in 2008 and came fourth. In 2011 he came last. The renamed Populist Alliance led by Russell White, a rail worker who left UKIP in 2006, became the Populist Party on 10 September 2014 and the party was re-registered under the new name in 2015.
The party is against globalisation, supporting renationalisation of the energy industry and protectionism.
