'''Stacy Ann-Marie Keibler''' (born [[October 14]], [[1979]]) is an [[United States|American]] [[actor|actress]], former [[professional wrestler]] and [[manager (professional wrestling)|manager]] for [[World Championship Wrestling]] and [[World Wrestling Entertainment]].

The '''United Kingdom Independence Party''' (commonly known as '''UKIP''', [[IPA chart for English|pronounced /{{IPA|'ju.kɪp}}/]] <!--

==Early life==

PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE "j" FROM THE PRONUNCIATION GUIDE - SEE THE IPA CHART TO SEE WHY IT SHOULD BE THERE.

Born the only child of Gary and Patricia Keibler and raised in [[Rosedale, Maryland]], a community within [[Baltimore County, Maryland|Baltimore County]], Stacy started dancing at the age of three and studied [[ballet]], [[jazz dance|jazz]] and [[tap dance|tap]] at a local studio, Jean Kettell Studio of Dance, in [[Dundalk, Maryland|Dundalk]]. Keibler attended Catholic High and [[Towson University]], earning near-perfect grades in [[Mass communication|Mass Communication]]{{Fact|date=March 2007}} at the latter. She later became a [[NFL Cheerleading|cheerleader]] for the [[Baltimore Ravens]] [[American football|football]] team, being the youngest of the group.

==Career==

-->) is a [[libertarian]] [[free market]] [[United Kingdom|British]] political party. The principal aim of the Party is the withdrawal of the UK from the [[European Union]].

===World Championship Wrestling===

In 1999, Keibler entered a contest held by [[World Championship Wrestling|WCW]] to find a new member of [[Nitro Girls]] dance troupe, which she won. Initially a Nitro Girl, Keibler would perform dance routines every week on WCW's flagship show Monday Nitro under the name '''Skye'''. However, this didn't last long as she soon accepted a larger role and became a [[manager (professional wrestling)|valet]] using the provocative [[stage name]] '''Miss Hancock''' (originally Miss Handcock), briefly serving as an associate for the [[tag team]] of [[Leonard Carlson|Lenny Lane]] and [[Brad Cain|Lodi]] dubbed "Standards and Practices". Despite wearing [[Suit (clothes)|business suits]], her character would often climb on top of the announcers table and start dancing sensually, much to the announcers' and fans' delight. It was also during this period that she began using what would become her trademark ring entrance. [[Image:StacyEntrance1.jpg|frame|left|Keibler's trademark Ring Entrance]] At 5' 11", Keibler was one of few women in professional wrestling tall enough to step over the middle of three ropes that surround the ring. She would do so while pausing momentarily to give the audience a peek of her famed "assets," as her ring attire usually included either hotpants or a miniskirt with a skimpy [[thong]] ([[G-string]]). This tease, among others, would remain a staple of Keibler's risque gimmick throughout the rest of her professional wrestling career.

After Standards and Practices "fired" her, Keibler went on to become the manager for Los Fabulosos, a Latin American tag team consisting of [[César González|Silver King]] and [[El Dandy]], leading them to their first major victories within WCW.

For a brief period, she dated [[David Flair]] (both on screen and off), who was already involved in a faux relationship with [[Shannon Spruill|Daffney]]. This led to Keibler's in-ring debut at the Bash at the Beach in a Wedding Gown Match, which she lost after she, as well as David Flair and the referee, were left in the ring in their underwear. Keibler removed her own gown.

UKIP currently has ten seats in the [[European Parliament]], and two in the [[House of Lords]]. It also has around thirty local councillors on principal authorities, town and parish councils.

Hancock was next brought into a brief feud with [[Kimberly Page]], but Page quit the company at the beginning of the feud after problems with [[Scott Steiner]] and a refusal to wrestle Keibler on Pay-Per View.

The intention of the party's policy is that the United Kingdom "shall again be governed by laws made to suit its own needs by its own Parliament, which must be directly and solely accountable to the electorate of the UK". [http://www.ukip.org/index.php?menu=theconstitution&page=constitution]. Other aspects of policy include promises to reduce taxation, the preservation of [[pound sterling]], being tough on crime and tighter controls on immigration and opposing the proposed extension to state funding of political parties.

Keibler and Flair began a feud with the Misfits in Action [[stable (professional wrestling)|stable]], which saw her fall to [[Tylene Buck|Major Gunns]] in a mud wrestling match at [[New Blood Rising]].

The current party leader is [[Nigel Farage]], [[Member of the European Parliament]] (MEP) for South East England, also the leader of the party in the [[European Parliament]]. His stated intention is to broaden public perception of UKIP beyond merely being a party seeking to get the UK out of the EU, to one of being a [[free market]] party broadly standing for traditional [[conservative]] values.

In another notable angle, Keibler feigned pregnancy and later broke up with Flair. Originally, the angle called for her to reveal the baby's father as [[Vince Russo]]. She began to use her real name and became the valet for [[Shawn Stasiak]].

In the [[European Parliament election, 2004|2004 European elections]], UKIP received 2.7 million votes (16.8% of the national vote), gaining twelve seats in the [[European Parliament]]. In the [[United Kingdom general election, 2005|2005 General Election]], however, the party received only 618,000 votes (2.38% of the vote), considerably less than what it received in the EU elections, but an improvement on the [[United Kingdom general election, 2001|2001 General Election]].

===World Wrestling Entertainment===

==History==

===Early years=2001-2003====

When WCW was purchased by the WWF in 2001, her contract was one of 24 that were retained by the WWF. She portrayed a [[heel (professional wrestling)|heel]] character in [[The Alliance]]. She made her WWF TV debut on the [[June 14]], [[2001]] episode of ''[[WWE Friday Night SmackDown!|SmackDown!]]'' when [[Shane McMahon]] brought her to the ring to distract [[Terry Gerin|Rhyno]], causing him to lose a match. Keibler originally teamed up with real-life friend [[Torrie Wilson]] and the pair feuded with [[WWE Diva|WWF Divas]] [[Trish Stratus]] and [[Amy Dumas|Lita]]. During this feud, the four Divas competed in the first-ever tag team bra and panties match at the [[WWF Invasion]] pay-per-view which Trish and Lita won.

UKIP was founded in 1993, by [[Alan Sked]] and other members of the all-party [[Anti-Federalist League]]. The central aim of the party was to seek the withdrawal of the [[United Kingdom]] from the [[European Union]]. The new party attracted many from the anti-European wing of the Conservative Party, which was split on the European question after the [[pound sterling|pound]] was forced out of the [[European Exchange Rate Mechanism]] in 1992 and the struggle over ratification of the [[Maastricht Treaty]]. UKIP candidates stood in the [[United Kingdom general election, 1997|1997 general election]], but were overshadowed by [[James Goldsmith]]'s [[Referendum Party]]. After the election, Alan Sked resigned the leadership and left the party which was, he said, 'doomed to remain on the political fringes'. However, Goldsmith's death soon after the election precipitated the dissolution of the Referendum Party, with a resulting influx of new UKIP supporters. The leadership election was won by millionaire businessman [[Michael Holmes (politician)|Michael Holmes]], and in the 1999 elections to the [[European Parliament]] UKIP amazed commentators by picking up three seats and 7% of the vote. In that election, Nigel Farage ([[South East England (European Parliament constituency)|South East England]]), Jeffrey Titford ([[East of England (European Parliament constituency)|East of England]]), and Michael Holmes ([[South West England (European Parliament constituency)|South West England]]) were elected.

Towards the end of the [[The Invasion (professional wrestling)|WCW/ECW Invasion]], Keibler managed [[Dudley Boyz|The Dudley Boyz]], during which time she was [[nickname]]d the "[[Duke|Duchess]] of Dudleyville" by announcer [[Paul Heyman]]. She proved to be a fan favorite in this role, which lead to newfound popularity for the tag team. An early highlight of her career, Keibler made her WrestleMania debut at [[WrestleMania X8]] alongside The Dudleyz. Keibler's main angle at the time was getting pantsed by her opponent, revealing her white lace panties. Jacqueline, [[Matt Hyson|Spike Dudley]], and Torrie Wilson were among those to strip Keibler. During this time, she also feuded with former ally Torrie Wilson after Wilson left The Alliance. Keibler helped The Dudley Boyz put Torrie through a table. However, Torrie got her revenge after first giving Keibler a [[wedgie]] and pantsing her reveling her panties on an episode of ''[[WWE Friday Night SmackDown!|SmackDown!]]''. She then defeated Keibler in the first-ever [[lingerie]] match at [[WWE No Mercy#2001|No Mercy 2001]]. Keibler's role with the Dudley Boyz came to an abrupt end when she was powerbombed through a table after accidentally costing the team a match. Keibler was still a heel after the Alliance broke up. She set her sights upon the WWE Women's Championship at [[WWE Judgment Day#2002|Judgment Day 2002]] facing Trish Stratus in a losing effort. She would face Stratus a few more times in the proceeding weeks, losing every time.

However, over the next few months there was a power struggle between the leader, Michael Holmes, and the party's National Executive Committee (NEC). This was partly due to Holmes making a speech which was perceived to call for greater powers for the [[European Parliament]] against the [[European Commission]]. In a stormy meeting, ordinary party members forced the resignation of both Holmes and the entire NEC. Holmes resigned from the party itself in March 2000. There was a legal battle when he tried to continue as an independent MEP until resigning from the European Parliament in December 2002, when he was replaced by [[Graham Booth]], the second candidate on the UKIP list in South West England.

Keibler was originally [[WWE Draft|drafted]] to the ''SmackDown!'' brand in 2002, where she participated in a comedy segment involving WWE Chairman [[Vince McMahon]] hiring a personal assistant. McMahon was ready to hire another attractive female until Keibler interrupted and demonstrated why she should get the job by giving him a [[table dance]] in the ring. Keibler became Vince's personal assistant as well as his on-screen mistress, frequently shown flirting and even 'making out' with him in backstage segments, until Stephanie McMahon became [[List of authority figures in professional wrestling|general manager]] of the ''SmackDown!'' brand. [[Dawn Marie Psaltis|Dawn Marie]] made her debut on ''SmackDown!'' as Vince's legal assistant, who competed with Keibler for McMahon's affections.

[[Jeffrey Titford]] was narrowly elected to the vacant leadership, and succeeded in healing many of the wounds left by the previous infighting.

A key [[angle (professional wrestling)|storyline]] for Keibler's on-screen character occurred when she left ''SmackDown!'' for ''[[WWE Raw|RAW]]''. Keibler made her official ''RAW'' debut on [[August 12]], [[2002]]. After her acquisition was announced by then-General Manager Eric Bischoff, she greeted the cheering crowd and then removed her skirt as she performed one of her signature table dances on the ''RAW'' announcer's table. During her ensuing time on ''RAW'', Keibler managed [[Scott Steiner]] and [[Andrew Martin|Test]], the latter of which was her real-life boyfriend at the time. She was also involved in the eventual feud between these two. As Test's on-screen marketing agent, she came up with the idea that Test should call his fans "Testicles," cut his hair and reshape his image. However, Test became jealous of Keibler wanting to also be Steiner's manager. During a match on ''RAW'', Test turned heel and began verbally abusing Keibler. Steiner managed to defeat Test for Keibler's services, and Keibler seemed happy as Steiner's new manager, as the two characters even alluded to having more than a professional relationship. Test, however, was not happy at all, and petitioned for an intergender tag team match, pitting himself and former rival [[Chris Jericho]] against Scott and Keibler, to win back the services of Keibler. Test faked a leg injury to pick up the win.

===2001 General Election===

UKIP put up candidates in more than 420 seats in the [[United Kingdom general election, 2001|2001 general election]], coming fifth in terms of votes cast (but with just 1.5% of the vote) and failing to win any representation at Westminster. It also failed to break through in the elections to the [[Scottish Parliament]] or the [[National Assembly of Wales]] despite those elections being held under [[proportional representation]]. This may be partly because the "[[National Question]]" is less focussed on European participation and more focussed on the continued link with the [[United Kingdom]], but also perhaps because Eurosceptism is simply less popular outside of England. In 2002 Titford stood down as party leader, but continued to sit as a UKIP MEP. He was replaced as leader by [[Roger Knapman]].

A match was set for [[WWE Unforgiven#2003|Unforgiven 2003]], the stipulation being if Test won, he would not only retain Keibler's services, but acquire those of Scott Steiner as well. During the match, Keibler attempted to distract Test by lifting her skirt and shaking her bare butt for the crowd. This was unsuccessful. Keibler then attempted to whack Test with a chair, but he ducked and she accidentally hit Steiner instead. As a result, Test won the match and the services of both Keibler and Steiner. Steiner would then turn heel by attacking Keibler when she botched another interference on the next ''RAW''. For a time, Test and Steiner would work as a tag team, sharing the services of Keibler. Finally, General Manager [[Mick Foley]] put a stop to the abusive Test and Steiner and freed Keibler from her obligatory contracts with the pair by temporarily firing them.

===Kilroy-Silk===

In late 2004, reports in the mainstream UK press speculated on if or when former [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]] MP and chat show host [[Robert Kilroy-Silk]] would take control of the party. These reports were heightened by Kilroy-Silk's speech at the UKIP party conference on [[2 October]] [[2004]], in which he called for the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] to be "killed-off" (following UKIP forcing the Conservatives into fourth place in [[Hartlepool by-election, 2004|Hartlepool]]).

====2004====

Interviewed by [[Channel 4]], Kilroy-Silk did not deny having ambitions to lead the party, but underlined that Roger Knapman would lead it into the next general election. However, the next day, on ''Breakfast with [[David Frost (broadcaster)|Frost]]'', he criticised Knapman's leadership. After further disagreement with the leadership, on [[27 October]] [[2004]] Kilroy-Silk resigned the UKIP whip in the European Parliament. Initially, he still remained a member, while seeking a bid for the party leadership. However, this was not successful, and Kilroy-Silk resigned completely from UKIP on [[20 January]] [[2005]], calling it a "joke". Two weeks later, he founded his own party, [[Veritas (political party)|Veritas]], taking several UKIP members, including both London Assembly members, with him. Kilroy-Silk has subsequently resigned from Veritas.

[[Image:Dvd-vivalasdivasofthewwe.jpg|thumb|left|120px|Keibler on the cover of the ''Viva Las Divas'' DVD]]

Keibler was chosen to record a track on the album ''[[WWE Originals]]''. She and WWE music producer [[Jim Johnston (composer)|Jim Johnston]] recorded the track "Why Can't We Just Dance?" for the album. Other tracks were performed by Superstars such as [[Chris Jericho]], [[Lilian Garcia]], and [[John Cena]], each of which had their own music career. Her track was used on an episode of ''[[WWE Raw|RAW]]'' for herself, during the [[WWE Diva Search|2004 RAW Diva Search]] and even on the ''Viva Las Diva of the WWE'' DVD.

Stacy then got involved with SmackDown! Divas Torrie Wilson and Sable. She aligned herself with Miss Jackie and they made it clear to everyone that they belonged in Playboy, not Wilson and Sable. Stacy and Jackie challenged Sable and Wilson to a Tag Team Evening Gown Match at Wrestlemania 20, which they lost. Jackie ended up losing the fall to Wilson after a roll up. Because Sable was having problems with her breasts, the divas began the match with their gowns off making it more of a Tag Team Lingerie Match than an Evening Gown Match. The fued was dropped after the match.

===2006 leadership election===

In October 2005, [[Petrina Holdsworth]] resigned as Chairman of UKIP and from the party's National Executive Committee. She was replaced as Chairman "on an interim basis" by the party's former leader, [[Jeffrey Titford]] MEP. In December 2005, [[David Campbell-Bannerman]], a former Conservative, became the new party chairman, appointed by the party leader, [[Roger Knapman]] MEP. Knapmans 4 year term as leader ended in June 2006, triggering a leadership contest that saw four challengers ([[Richard Suchorzewski]], David Campbell-Bannerman, [[David Noakes]] and [[Nigel Farage]]) who emerged as victor on 12 September 2006.

As one of the more popular RAW face Divas, Keibler took over the 2004 RAW Diva Search for a few weeks. That was followed by a dance competition with [[Nora Greenwald|Molly]]. This led to a push with her participating in several tag matches against the heel girls, then WWE Diva, [[Gail Kim]]; then heel and then WWE Diva, [[Trish Stratus]]; and then WWE Diva, [[Nora Greenwald|Molly Holly]]. Her partners were WWE star, [[Nidia Guenard|Nidia]] and then babyface, [[Lisa Marie Varon|Victoria]]. Keibler showed off much improved wrestling skills, managing to get upset victories over Molly, Gail, and Trish. She even got herself a Women's Championship title match on [[October 11]], [[2004]]. However, Trish defeated her to retain the title. Stacy also competed in the first-ever Fulfill your Fantasy Diva Battle Royal for the WWE Women's Championship at the 2004 Taboo Tuesday Pay-Per-View along with Victoria, Nidia, Gail Kim, Molly Holly, Jazz & the champion Trish. She got eliminated second to last as she was jumping over the top rope to avoid hitting the turnbuckle, Molly punched her in the face and knocked her off the apron thus eliminating her. Trish quickly disposed of Molly to retain.

===Conservative Peers defect to UKIP===

On January 9, 2007, two former Conservative Lords defected from the Conservative Party to the UKIP. Lords Pearson and Willoughby de Broke joined the UKIP as they felt the Conservative Party were not producing policy to support their beliefs. They had previously had the Conservative whip withdrawn when they had encourage votes to support UKIP. Other high profile Conservatives have defected to UKIP, but this is the first example of sitting Parliamentarians doing so. On Saturday 20th, 2007, the [[Earl of Dartmouth]], also a former Tory peer, defected. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6281423.stm]

Keibler was voted as the 2004 [[WWE Diva#WWE Babe of the Year|WWE Babe of the Year]], being the first WWE Diva to defeat [[Trish Stratus]] in the Babe of the Year competition (Stratus was 2001-2003 Babe of the Year). As a result of this, Keibler appeared on ''RAW'' following her victory and told everyone that she would bend over backwards to make the fans happy. Keibler's Babe of the Year photoshoots would be posted on WWE's official website on a monthly basis throughout 2005.

==Policies==

====2005====

Although the UKIP's original ''raison d'être'' was, without a doubt, the [[European Union|EU]], it has now expanded from being a [[single-issue party]] to developing a full domestic agenda starting with a wide ranging review and establishment of a policy development group. UKIP have now produced detailed policy documents on taxation [http://www.ukip.org/pdf/ukipflattaxpolicy.pdf] and education [http://www.ukip.org/pdf/ukipeducation.pdf] as well as becoming the only mainstream party to oppose the extension to state funding of political parties.

[[Image:Super Stacy.jpg|thumb|right|145px|Keibler had a brief run as Super Stacy, complete with her own superhero costume.]]

Keibler soon began an angle with popular superstar [[Randy Orton]]. After kissing him on the cheek during a backstage segment on ''RAW'', there looked to possibly be a romance there. Randy even saved her from receiving a Pedigree from the villainous [[Triple H]]. She supported him from backstage and was never considered his manager. The storyline never really made any advances, and as Randy challenged [[The Undertaker]] to a match at ''[[WrestleMania 21]]'', Randy ended the relationship by giving her an RKO, justifying this evil act by claiming he was demonstrating just how ruthless he could be in order to defeat The Undertaker. In the end, Keibler's involvement with Orton was a device for his inevitable heel turn. Orton was the third on-screen boyfriend to betray Keibler.

Keibler would go on to join forces with [[Hurricane and Rosey]]. She became 1/3 of their trio as '''Super Stacy''', complete with her own superhero costume. During this time, Keibler was credited as having one of her best matches to date with [[WWE Diva]], [[Lisa Marie Varon|Victoria]], on an international edition of [[WWE Heat]].

Its economic stance is based what it claims to be the need for much lower taxation in order to compete internationally; a position which has been reinforced since the election of Nigel Farage as leader in September 2006.

After a long tenure on Monday nights, Keibler and fellow ''RAW'' Diva [[Christy Hemme]] were moved to [[WWE Friday Night SmackDown!|''SmackDown!'']] as part of a trade, bringing [[Torrie Wilson]] and [[Candice Michelle]] to ''RAW''. Upon their debut, the two former ''RAW'' Divas participated in a bra and panties pillow fight that was deemed too hot for television (the match could be viewed on WWE's official website.) After a short absence, Keibler started a short feud with [[Jillian Hall]], which lead to the two having a match on [[WWE Velocity|''Velocity'']], during which Hall captured the victory through cheating. The match represented Keibler's final match and final appearance on WWE television.

===On Europe and related issues===

UKIP contends (a) that the EU is extremely corrupt, (b) that it is undemocratic (they particularly resent the fact that [[European Commission|European Commissioners]], who are appointed by national governments rather than directly elected, have sole authority to initiate legislation in most policy areas), (c) that Britain's membership is very expensive and (d) that Britain's sovereignty is diluted by being part of a large bloc. While (a), (b) and (c) could in principle be addressed by radical reform of the European Union, it perceives (d) as being so fundamental a problem that only complete withdrawal from the Union can address it. For this reason, the aim of British withdrawal from the EU is written into UKIP's constitution. In line with this, one of UKIP's political goals is to break what it sees as the pro-EU consensus among the three established parties, and prevent the introduction of the [[euro]] and the adoption of a [[European constitution]]. UKIP is also opposed to compulsory [[metrication in the UK|metrication]] in the United Kingdom.

====2006====

Opponents have claimed that UKIP is a [[Thatcherite]] party exploiting widespread Euroscepticism in Britain in an attempt to bring back characteristic Thatcherite policies such as dismantlement of the [[welfare state]], elimination of legal restrictions on business, and an unquestioning alliance with the [[United States|US]]. [http://www.wsws.org/articles/2004/jun2004/ukip-j23.shtml] Some have even stated that the party's name is misleading, claiming that it supports the UK's alliance with the USA to such an extent that it, by definition, does not support the independence of the UK. However, policies outlined in the party's 2001 manifesto often suggest otherwise: UKIP supports free international trade and it maintains a strong commitment to the [[National Health Service]] [http://www.ukip.org/index.php?menu=manifesto&page=manifestohealthandsocial]. UKIP does in general support continuing military cooperation with the USA through the [[North Atlantic Treaty Organization]] (NATO) but said in 2002 that it could only support a [[2003 invasion of Iraq|US invasion of Iraq]] if there was a clear [[United Nations]] mandate for such action.

Keibler appeared on the hit show ''[[Dancing with the Stars (US TV series)|Dancing with the Stars]]'' (see [[#Outside of wrestling|Outside of wrestling]]), placing third. Recaps were aired weekly on ''[[WWE Raw|RAW]]'', which was believed to be because of a conflict with ''[[WWE Friday Night SmackDown!|SmackDown!]]'' and [[UPN]] not wanting to promote a rival network. After a few weeks, her profile was moved from ''SmackDown!'' back to ''RAW''.

In April 2006, Vegas Magazine reported that Keibler was done with WWE and moving on to other endeavors. Keibler posted a message on her official website saying that her WWE contract expired on [[July 21]], [[2006]], and she went on to sign a contract with [[ABC Television Studio]], formerly Touchstone Television, which is owned by Disney.

===Domestic policies===

On [[21 February]] [[2006]], UKIP announced a relaunch, declaring that they would be moving to fill the space left by the Conservative Party following the election as leader of [[David Cameron]], who is widely perceived to have moved the party to the centre-ground. They announced that they would now be focussing on five policy areas, rather than concentrating solely on withdrawal from the EU. These are to be education, international trade, immigration, tax, and the way Britain is governed. To this end, Party Chairman [[David Campbell-Bannerman]] announced that there would be a sweeping policy review on [[libertarian]] lines.

==Outside of wrestling==

UKIP is against the planned introduction of [[British national identity card|identity cards]], believing them to be ineffective as a way of combatting fraud and terrorism, and an infringement of individual liberty. In December 2004 UKIP affiliated to the anti-ID card campaign, [[No2ID]]. Concern for civil liberties also led UKIP to oppose the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 [http://www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts2004/20040036.htm], which gives additional powers to the UK [[Home Secretary]] in broadly defined "emergency situations". UKIP's [[Jeffrey Titford]] [[Member of the European Parliament|MEP]] condemned the bill as "totalitarian". [http://ukip.org/abc_news/gen12.php?t=1&id=974]

[[Image:Tony and Stacy Tango.jpg|right|thumb|140px|Keibler dancing the [[Tango (dance)|tango]] with partner [[Tony Dovolani]]]]

For several months, Keibler wrote a monthly fitness column for ''[[Stuff (magazine)|Stuff Magazine]]'' titled ''Getting Fit''. Although her legs are famed for their length and beauty, she has great strength as well. In one issue, she speaks of how she recently attempted a 450 lb leg press. Although unable to push it, she did manage a 405lb leg press. In addition to posing for a total of five full pictorials, Keibler has graced the cover of ''[[Stuff (magazine)|Stuff Magazine]]'' twice, in [http://www.stuffmagazine.com/cover_girls/girl.aspx?id=470&src=wiki June 2005] and [http://www.stuffmagazine.com/cover_girls/girl.aspx?id=541&src=wiki March 2006]. ''Maxim'' named her #5 in their 2006 [http://www.maximonline.com/slideshows/index.aspx?slideId=1910&imgCollectId=94&src=wiki Hot 100] issue and #70 in their 2007 Hot 100.

Keibler has refused at least three offers to pose for [[Playboy]], believing that it would be better if she "left something for the imagination."

UKIP opposes the adoption of a [[Devolved English parliament]], preferring to argue that the Scottish Parliament and Welsh and Northern Irish Assemblies can simply be abolished to return the United Kingdom to one Country with one Parliament. The party's Welsh section, UKIP Wales, persuaded the UK leadership to back a policy of outright abolition of the [[Welsh Assembly]], and UKIP Wales campaigned on that basis in the [[Welsh Assembly election, 2003|Welsh Assembly elections in 2003]].

She competed in the second season of ''[[Dancing with the Stars (US TV series)|Dancing with the Stars]]''. Her dance partner was [[ballroom dance]]r [[Tony Dovolani]]. Keibler managed to score a perfect 10 in the earliest round of the competition ever. Keibler received a perfect score of 30 from the three judges for her [[Samba (dance)|samba]] dance routine in week five. This prompted the judges to nickname her a "weapon of mass seduction." The following week, two perfect scores were awarded, one going to Keibler, the other to fellow contestant [[Drew Lachey]]. Overall, Keibler and Tony received four perfect scores. Keibler came in third to Jerry Rice, who placed second in the final round of the competition, and Lachey, the winner of the season. However, some viewers and two of the judges, [[Bruno Tonioli]] and [[Len Goodman]], felt she should've at least placed second.

==Electoral performance 2004-2006==

Keibler has also appeared on [[MTV]]'s [[Punk'd]] twice. Once, as an accomplice to [[Triple H]]'s punk, along with [[Stephanie McMahon]], in season five. Keibler was then seen again in season seven, this time being Punk'd herself by her boyfriend, [[Geoff Stults]].

[[Image:UKIPbeerMat.jpg|right|200px|thumb|UKIP [[beermat]]s]]

Keibler (along with Stults) is part-owner of the [[Hollywood Fame]], a [[2006]] expansion franchise of the [[American Basketball Association (21st century)|American Basketball Association]].

===Overview===

UKIP's first electoral success was the election of three MEPs in [[1999]] and it made further advances in [[2004]], but although increasing its share of the vote in both the [[United Kingdom general election, 2001|2001 General Election]] and [[United Kingdom general election, 2005|2005 General Election]] it did not achieve the same levels of vote as in those Elections to the European Parliament. In part this may be explained by the [[first past the post electoral system]] wherein small political parties tend to fare badly. But it is also of note that the European Elections occurred in mid-term - a period which usually sees a large [[Protest vote]] against the government and which has in the past resulted in short term boosts for small parties.

In February 2007, Keibler began her recurring role on ABC's Monday night dramedy, [[What About Brian]]. She plays the role of Brian's new neighbour and love interest, Stephanie. This marks Keibler's first significant acting role, compared to her previous minor roles in both "Bubble Boy" and "Pecker".

===2004===

UKIP's expectations were high before the [[European Parliament election, 2004|2004 European Parliament election]], with a number of opinion polls &ndash; starting with one from [[YouGov]] - showed them on course to beat the [[Liberal Democrats]] and pick up a dozen MEPs. The prediction proved accurate, with UKIP winning 16.8% of the vote and taking third place nationally with 12 seats. UKIP won seats in eight regions, taking votes from all three major political Parties. It came second, ahead of both Labour and the Liberal Democrats, in four regions: South West, South East, Eastern and East Midlands. In the East Midlands region UKIP came within a percentage point of being top of the poll.

Keibler also guest starred on [[The George Lopez Show]] on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] when the show returned in January. According to an interview on E! Television, she hopes to have her own sitcom soon and is also working on [[The Comebacks]], a comedy film produced by [[Punk'd]] producer Adam Goldberg.

UKIP received assistance in coordinating its 2004 election campaign from [[Dick Morris]], formerly [[Bill Clinton]]'s campaign advisor who has since emerged as an advocate of US [[unilateralism]] and an opponent of the EU.

Keibler has also worked as an entertainment correspondent for the ABC show ''[[Good Morning America]]'', covering the premiere of the [[Dancing with the Stars (US TV series)#Season 4|fourth series of ''Dancing with the Stars'']].

In the local elections on [[10 June]] [[2004]], UKIP won its first ever City council seats in [[Kingston-upon-Hull]] and [[Derby]]. In [[London]], an area where UKIP had previously polled badly, two UKIP candidates won seats in the [[London Assembly]] via the London-wide list. In the election for Mayor of London which was held on the same day, UKIP's candidate, the boxing promoter [[Frank Maloney]], came fourth with 6.2% of the total vote.

===2005=Personal life==

During her days with WCW, Keibler was romantically linked with [[David Flair]], the son of legendary wrestler [[Ric Flair]]. After joining WWE, Keibler was in a relationship with [[Andrew Martin|Test]] for several years. The couple were reported to have separated shortly before Martin was fired by WWE while he recovered from neck surgery, but maintained a friendship.

UKIP had hoped to sustain its momentum in the 2005 General Election, but despite fielding 495 candidates, the party failed to win any seats at Westminster. At the General Election, UKIP gained 618,000 votes, or 2.4% of the total votes cast in the election (an increase of 220,000 votes/0.9% from their result in the 2001 general election). Although respectable for a small party, and sufficient to place them fourth in terms of total votes cast behind the [[Liberal Democrats]], the Liberal Democrats polled in excess of 20% of the total vote cast. Their best result on election night itself was in Boston & Skegness, where their candidate Richard Horsnell came third with 9.6% of the vote. However, in South Staffordshire, where the poll was delayed until [[June 23]] [[2005]] by the death of the Liberal Democrat candidate, UKIP's Malcolm Hurst gained 10.4% of the vote. In percentage terms this was UKIP's highest score of the general election.

In [[June 2005]], Keibler was rumored to be in a relationship with actor [[Geoff Stults]], best known for his appearances on ''[[7th Heaven]]''. The couple were photographed at many places together and seen as an [[wiktionary:item|item]]. The pair also appeared together on [[MTV]]'s [[Punk'd]], with Keibler as the recipient of the prank. The [[September 2005]] edition of the tabloid, ''[[Star Magazine]]'', claimed that Keibler was involved in a [[love triangle]] with Geoff Stults and actress [[Jennifer Aniston]]. It was later announced that Aniston was in a relationship with the man that supposedly got her and daniels together, [[Vince Vaughn]]. Keibler denied rumors of a relationship with Stults in two interviews and gave a "no comment" to [[Todd Grisham]] when asked about it on [[WWE Byte This!|Byte This!]].

===2006===

In the first Parliamentary election test of 2006, UKIP came eighth out of nine candidates in the [[Dunfermline and West Fife by-election, 2006|Dunfermline and West Fife by-election]] on [[9 February]] [[2006]], and their candidate lost his deposit, polling only 208 votes (0.6%).

On [[May 16]], [[2006]], Keibler suffered a [[seizure]] at the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] Upfront Presentation in [[New York City]], and was hospitalized. The seizure was said to be minor and Keibler was released from the hospital shortly after. Four days later, Keibler appeared on the [[ESPN]] pre-race telecast of the [[Preakness Stakes]], in an interview with [[Kenny Mayne]].

In the 2006 English local elections, UKIP won its first borough council seat in [[Hartlepool]] but a councillor in [[Wirral]] who had recently defected to UKIP from the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservatives]] failed to be re-elected for her new party, so that UKIP's overall net gain was zero. UKIP also beat Labour into fourth place in the Bromley and Chislehurst by-election in June 2006. The UKIP candidate, [[Nigel Farage]], came third with 8.1% of the vote, ahead of Labour on 6.6%. This was the first time for many years that a party in government had dropped to fourth place in a by-election.

*'''Entrance Theme'''

UKIP is often seen as a "Tory pressure group", who's main aim is to persuade the Conservative Party to support withdrawal from the European Union. Many prominent members of UKIP are former members of the Conservative Party, for example former UKIP leader Roger Knapman). Also, some of the staff at Conservative Central Office are former UKIP candidates.

In [[WCW]], she used a generic dance theme called "Universal Love".

During The Invasion she used a generic theme.

A recent [[ConservativeHome]] survey revealed that 43% of surveyed members of the Conservative Party felt that UKIP was the closest party to their views (apart from the Conservative Party itself)[http://conservativehome.blogs.com/torydiary/2006/12/tory_members_ar.html], with 66% either supporting or sympathising with the [[Better Off Out]] campaign.

Her final and most famous theme was "Legs" by [[Kid Rock]].

In April 2006, [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] leader [[David Cameron]] called UKIP members "fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists" while talking on [[LBC]] radio in London after a question about UKIP using the Freedom of Information Act to force the disclosure of donors. UKIP has demanded an apology for the "closet racists" remark and threatened legal action for slander although this was later dropped, on the grounds that to sue the party would have to prove loss, and the comment had actually had a positive effect for UKIP. Conservative MP [[Bob Spink]] has criticised the remarks as has the Conservative supporting newspaper, ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]''.[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2006/04/05/dl0502.xml&sSheet=/news/2006/04/05/ixnewstop.html]

Prior to departure from [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]], the band Zebrahead recorded new theme music for her titled "With Legs Like That" which was given to [[Maria Kanellis]] after she left.

===The BNP===

==Championships and accomplishments==

UKIP's constitution contains a clause guaranteeing that the party will not discriminate on the grounds of race and will be non-sectarian, and party rules require all candidates to declare that they have no past or present links with far-right organisations.

Despite its stated policies, some critics of the UKIP claim links between it and racist groups. [[Aidan Rankin]], co-author of the party's 2001 manifesto, was once involved with the [[Third Way (UK)|Third Way]], which was founded by former members of the [[British National Front|National Front]] (though he has since repudiated these views and has denied ever being a racist; it must also be stated that Third Way has never been as extreme as the NF). [[Alistair McConnachie]], a five-times UKIP candidate and National Executive member, was suspended from the National Executive of UKIP for his views on the Holocaust [http://politics.guardian.co.uk/election2001/comment/0,9407,472826,00.html]. Some other candidates were formerly members of the [[New Britain Party]].

It has been a stated policy of the [[British National Party]] (BNP) to "eliminate" UKIP, as they perceive that UKIP's existence prevents them from capitalising on the issue of EU membership. The BNP has infiltrated UKIP in the past, notably in the cases of Mark Deavin, a UKIP head office researcher (hired by the party founder Alan Sked) who was exposed as a BNP agent in 1997 and John Brayshaw in 2004. The aim appears simply to have been to damage UKIP.

UKIP as a party takes a broadly individualist stance, and it opposes discrimination both positive and negative on the grounds of race and sexuality. Occasional attempts to create a special section within UKIP for ethnic minority members (on the lines of Labour's Black Section) have always been rejected on the grounds that this would be to treat such members as tokens rather than as full colleagues. Nonetheless, UKIP has stood a significant number of ethnic minority candidates in each of the general elections it has contested, in 1997, 2001 and 2005. The first ethnic minority candidate to represent UKIP in a parliamentary by-election was [[Ashwinkumar Tanna]], a [[pharmacist]] who had previously been an independent candidate for [[Mayor of London]]. He represented UKIP in the [[Tottenham by-election, 2000]]; his campaign, which called for British withdrawal from the EU and fairer treatment for immigrants, was ignored by the media apart from a brief paragraph in Chemist and Druggist magazine. The best-known black member of UKIP is former TV chef [[Rustie Lee]], who stood as a candidate in the [[2005]] general election and also appeared in the party's election broadcast that year. The most senior black member of the UKIP leadership is [[Delroy Young]], another general election candidate, who was elected to the party's NEC in [[2006]] (coming 2nd out of 46 candidates). UKIP's only Muslim local councillor to date was [[Mohammed Yaqub]], originally elected as a [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] to [[Walsall]] Metropolitan Borough Council. He and a colleague defected to UKIP in [[2004]] but were defeated in their re-election bids a few months later.

On similar grounds to their refusal to set up an ethnic minority section, UKIP has discouraged attempts to set up a gay section. Such an organisation was proposed in [[2004]], and the party's then general secretary [[Nikki Sinclaire]], who is an out lesbian, was asked to chair it, but she declined the invitation.

==Current representatives==

UKIP has two working peers in the House of Lords, who joined the party in January 2007 after defecting from the Conservative Party. Lord Pearson of Rannoch and Lord Willoughby de Broke will form a new grouping within the House of Lords to actively seek to encourage more Lords to defect to the new UKIP group.[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/01/09/uukip106.xml]

UKIP has about thirty local councillors. In the 2004 elections, it won twelve seats in the [[European Parliament]] and two in the [[London Assembly]] ([[Damian Hockney]] and [[Peter Hulme-Cross]]).

In 2005, Robert Kilroy-Silk and both London Assembly members defected to form a new political party, [[Veritas (political party)|Veritas]]. However, all three defectors have since left Veritas. Another MEP, [[Ashley Mote]], who was elected as an MEP for [[South East England (European Parliament constituency)|South East England]], had the UKIP whip removed on [[15 July]] [[2004]], because he had not informed them previously of an imminent court case involving housing [[benefit fraud]].

== Eurosceptics in the European Parliament ==

In 2004, 37 [[Member of the European Parliament|MEP]]s from the UK, [[Poland]], [[Denmark]] and [[Sweden]] founded a new [[European Parliament]] group called ''[[Independence and Democracy]]'' from the old [[Europe of Democracies and Diversities]] (EDD) group. The main goals of this group are to reject the [[Treaty establishing a constitution for Europe]] and to oppose further European integration. Some delegations within the group, including UKIP, advocate the complete withdrawal of their country from the EU.

The group's leaders are [[Nigel Farage]] of UKIP and [[Jens-Peter Bonde]] of Denmark.
