Veritas
is a right-wing political party formed in February 2005 by Robert Kilroy-Silk following a split from the UK Independence Party (UKIP). Kilroy-Silk served as party leader through the 2005 General Election until he resigned in July 2005. He was succeeded by Patrick Eston who resigned the leadership on 15 June 2008 citing frustrations in trying to reform the party.
Veritas has no representation in the UK Parliament, although it had a small number of members serve in the European Parliament and the London Assembly, elected as UKIP members and defecting upon Veritas' formation.
Therese Muchewicz is the Party Leader.

In July 2013 Party Leader Therese Muchewicz tweeted a link to an e-petition to 'End Multiculturalism in the UK', stating that 'Veritas campaigns for an end to multiculturalism as this has damaged society and community cohesion'. [1]
The petition on the HM Government site explained its rationale as: 'In our country we have public money spent on promoting multiculturalism. We have only 4 cultural identities in the UK those are Scottish, Welsh, Irish and English. We can no longer sponsor segregation and the dilution of our cultural identities with public money. 4 Nations 4 Identities 4 Peoples.' [2]
