United Kingdom Independence Party leadership election

Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), has shed light on his hopes to establish an alliance with Italy's 5-Star Movement in the European Parliament.

Farage said he "met [5-Star leader] Beppe Grillo last week", as he was quoted by Euronews.

UK Independence Party (UKIP)'s leader Nigel Farage has made fresh remarks referring to Southeastern Europe in an interview with a US TV channel.

"I haven't got a problem with Romanians. I have a massive problem with Romania," Farage told CNBC on Thursday.

Unlike Bulgaria, where the nationalist parties suffered a crushing defeat in the European elections, throughout the rest of the EU they are gaining ground. 

The French National Front and UK Independence Party both performed strongly, while the three big centrist blocs in parliament all lost seats.

The anti-immigration UK Independence Party (UKIP) is favored to win the most votes in the European Elections according to a poll of YouGov agency.

Nigel Farage's UKIP leads with 29%, followed by the Labour Party 26% and the Conservative Party of PM David Cameron with 23%, according to the survey for The Sun, published on Sunday.
