Edit the other political affiliations section on the infobox to include the Anti-Federalist League from 1992–1993. Currently, the infobox states that Farage was a member of the Conservatives until 1993, this is incorrect and also contradicts the body of the article.[1][2][3]

Now that Farage is leader again, and the name of the party in the infobox has been changed to reflect that, I would suggest changing the note from:
"The party was renamed Reform UK in January 2021 and Farage led the renamed party until March 2021."
to
"The party was named the Brexit Party from its founding in November 2018 to January 2021, when it was renamed Reform UK. Farage led the renamed party until March 2021." 195.213.249.33 (talk) 16:35, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

New picture for Farage? edit
The picture of Farage in the infobox is 6 years old, there isn't much in the public domain but there is a 2020 picture from Gage Skidmore:

- I think the previous 2018 image was better quality. I feel this image has him too focused away from the body of the article, which should generally be discouraged. It would probably be better to wait as there will possibly be more images emerging during the election campaign.

- Okay, I will revert the edit; I agree that we may get a better one during the campaign. Dingers5Days (talk) 15:21, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
