Nicole Sinclaire (born 26 July 1968)[1] is a British former politician who was leader of the We Demand a Referendum Party,[2] and served as a Member of the European Parliament for the West Midlands from 2009 to 2014.[3]
She was elected MEP in June 2009, as a UK Independence Party candidate but later resigned from the Europe of Freedom and Democracy (EFD) group in which UKIP sat as a part in the European Parliament, citing the alleged extreme right-wing views of some of the group's members, including outspoken views condemning homosexuals and migrants. Subsequently, Sinclaire sat as an Independent MEP from January 2010 until September 2012, during which time she set up the We Demand a Referendum party.[4] She was defeated in the 2014 elections, saying in a statement on her website: "my employers have spoken, and it would seem I have been unsuccessful in my attempt to be re-elected as an MEP for the West Midlands region."[5]
Sinclaire was the first ever trans British parliamentarian.
