Burge UK is a right-wing political party in the United Kingdom. Formed in June 2022, the party was founded by former Conservative MPs Michael Gove and Boris Johnson, in response to an unsuccessful attempt by the two to have themselves readmitted into the Conservative Party, having previously been expelled from the party by David Cameron in the wake of the 2016 United Kingdom political crisis. As a right-wing political party, Burge UK has often been compared to the likes of the UK Independence Party and its successor, Reform UK, with whom the party largely shares similar right-wing policies while also espousing strong Euroscepticism and are in favour of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union.
In addition to its co-founders, the party also consists of approximately sixty-four MPs from the Conservative Party and ten from the Labour Party respectively. In total, the party currently has seventy-six MPs in the House of Commons, and seventy-four MPs in the House of Lords.
