The British Unionist Party (BUP) is a Scottish unionist political party founded in December 2015 as A Better Britain – Unionist Party by activists from the Better Together campaign against Scottish independence.[3] Unlike the mainstream unionist parties, it is critical of the devolution process, which it views as a "slow road to separation".[4] The party has a statement of principles based on the four themes of Union, constitution, industry and sovereignty.[5]
At the 2022 local elections, the BUP gained its first ever elected representative when John Jo Leckie was elected as a councillor in the North Lanarkshire ward of Fortissat.
