Fundamentally, it is a single issue party. It is certainly viewed like that by the electorate. It has very successfully, in its mandate, achieved it's goal (which is actually a step refer than its predecessor - The Referendum Party). All the time it is called U.K.
INDEPENDENCE Party it will be seen as nothing more than the party to ensure leaving the EU. It has to re-badge to stay in existence, that's obvious in my opinion.
The more meaningful question is, given its manifesto and spurious/erratic, often misaligned views, what does it stand for outside of what it has already achieved? What is the point in carrying on if you have nothing tangible and coherent to offer. (I don't mean that as a discredit to UKIP, I mean that inasmuch as their core belief has been delivered, anything else they wish to offer is outside of their core purpose.)
