Comment: Per WP:ORG, we need to see significant coverage of this party in multiple secondary sources that are reliable and entirely independent of the subject. Of the four sources cited, the first doesn't even mention 'Rejoin EU Party', and the fourth makes only a passing mention. The second source is representatives of the party talking about it and themselves, and appears to be based on a press release, hence not independent. The third (TNE) is the best of the lot, but alone not enough. DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:45, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: A single source, once cited, wouldn't be enough to support the contents even if it were a reliable one; or to establish notability per WP:ORG / WP:GNG. DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:08, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

The Rejoin EU Party is a political party in the United Kingdom that advocates for the U.K’s rejoining the European Union (EU). The party emerged in the aftermath of the U.K.s decision to leave the EU, a movement commonly known as Brexit. It was founded by Richard Hewison and Andy Smith, driven by a desire to address the negative impacts of Brexit and promote the benefits of EU membership.
Background[edit]
The Rejoin EU Party was established in response to the 2016 EU membership referendum, where a majority vote led to the U.K’s decision to leave the EU.
History[edit]
Founded in 2020 by Richard Hewison and Andy Smith, the party aimed to reverse the decision to leave the EU and maintain ties with the bloc. The party’s formation was a response to the U.K. Government’s approach to Brexit negotiations and the socioeconomic challenges that followed.
Ideology[edit]
The party’s central ideology is pro-European Union.[1] It advocates for the U.K’s reintegration into the EU, including adherence to its political, economic and social policies. The Rejoin EU Party argues that EU membership is crucial for the UK’s economic growth, social welfare and global influence.
Electoral performance[edit]
The Rejoin EU Party has participated in several elections, including the London Assembly and mayoral elections in 2021. In the 2021 mayoral elections the party secured 28,021 votes. The party also achieved its first electoral success when Andy Smith was elected parish councillor in Oxfordshire.[2]
Leadership[edit]
Initially the party was led by Richard Hewison[3] until 2023. The current leader is former conservative MEP Brendan Donnelly.[4]
