Veritas (political Party)
Veritas (Latin: "Truth") is a political party in the United Kingdom, formed in February 2005 by Robert Kilroy-Silk following a split from the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP). Kilroy-Silk served as party leader from formation, through the 2005 General Election, until his resignation in July that year. He was succeeded by Patrick Eston who resigned the leadership on 15 June 2008 citing frustrations of his efforts to reform the party.
Therese Muchewicz is the new Party Leader. Veritas has no representation in the Parliament of the United Kingdom, although its members have served in both the European Parliament and the London Assembly, having been elected as UKIP members and defecting upon Veritas' formation.
The party put forward no candidates in the 2010 General Election.
