I have twenty minutes before setting off to work so this will be brief and quick and not exhaustive.
Veritas
Maybe the first dawning of the age of UKIP splinter groups. Lead briefly by a perma-tanned demagogue so nobody could tell the difference.
An Independence From Europe
Grammar hating ploy to top the alphabetical-by-party-name order of the European Parliament elections.
Democrats and Veterans
One of the most recently founded parties, with a donkey on its party logo.
Reform UK Party
Ultra minor offshoot in the early days who would up with the English Democrats.
One London
London Assembly group(let) mired in nonsense and acrimony from the start.
We Demand a Referendum Now
Nikki Sinclaire one woman band.
For Britain
Enthusiastic Twitter users go for the UKIP/BNP borderlands, based on imagery alone.
Thanet Independents
One of many local council group(lets) formed by post-referendum lemming-ing by UKIP members.

I can't help thinking that it won't be long before there's a Gammon and Fruitcake Party

Off the top of my head, there's also: Tribune, which is a local splinter in Great Yarmouth which did decently in a couple of wards in the late locals; Paul Weston's Liberty GB, which has recently been deregistered and its supporters told to join For Britain; and Alan Sked's centre-left/Eurosceptic New Deal, which he gave up on almost immediately after getting a good write-up in the Grauniad - apparently in order to care for his dying mother.
There's also a rare twofer in the Populist Party, which is a merger of the initial Populist Party (a very early UKIP splinter which has been dormant since about 1998) and the Populist Alliance, which split off from Veritas during the collapse thereof, and is therefore part of the UKIP gene pool. They merged and re-established themselves a couple of years ago and stood in both the snappy and the recent locals.

Yet another party founded by someone once in Ukip. But this time you probably have heard of the leader: cleanbrexit.com/ |

Oh and how could we forget yet another party founded by a former Ukip spokesperson:
Unity in Action (28/11/2017)
Leader - Winston McKenzie (stood for Ukip at various levels in seats in & covering Croydon 2010-2015, sought the leadership and the London mayoral nomination, served as the party's Commonwealth spokesperson for a bit)
Sure he joined another party in the interim but it's all in the genepool.

Now here's a thing. On the "Adventures..." thread, I reported back in 2015 a party called "Open Borders" registered by a former UKIP candidate. That party was not appearing at all on the EC Register search just now. Until I searched for the name of the leader. He appeared all of a sudden. The party must be the same, as the registration dates match up, except this time the "Open Borders" party is now "Self-Ownership Party".

UK First, who stood in three regions at the 2009 EU Parliament elections, was made up of several fairly prominent ex UKIP members including Robin Page, Petrina Holdsworth, Bruce Lawson, John West, Martin Halsam, David Noakes and Ian Gillman.

I would have thought that a major problem for any new party these days is the Descriptions Act (or whatever it is called). All the sane sensible descriptions have already been nabbed.
