  == Current members == The sole reference for the number of UKIP members is based on number that Nigel Farage made in an interview. I'm not sure when Nigel Farage has ever given an accurate number in an interview. He has been pulled before on his figures being incorrect, and based on the time between the previous announcement it would suggest the party increased it's membership by a fifth in the two months before the election. While it is not impossible, on its own it is not a credible reference and requires a further source.
