The UK Independence Party (UKIP) has dominated UK media coverage of the elections and is reportedly on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/uk\/politics\/european-elections-ukip-set-for-landmark-win-9391409.html\">track for a landslide victory<\/a>. However, anti-UKIP activists have also been occupying the media coverage, from Twitter requests to post back <a href=\"https:\/\/storify.com\/ajstream\/british-citizens-return-ukip-fliers\">UKIP flyers<\/a> to <a href=\"http:\/\/destroyedukipbillboards.tumblr.com\/page\/2\">subverting billboards<\/a>, 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.
