The European elections are taking place this week. The UK Independence Party (UKIP) has dominated UK media coverage of the elections and is reportedly on track for a landslide victory. However, anti-UKIP activists have also been occupying the media coverage, from Twitter requests to post back UKIP flyers to subverting billboards, creative activist actions have claimed public spaces. This week, RE.FRAMING ACTIVISM has collated a list of academic research and activist actions, which focus on the UK Independence Party. As always, we welcome further contributions to this list.
