Vote Leave is an organisation which is campaigning for Britain to leave the European Union.[1] The organisation was created on October 2015 and is a cross-party campaign; including UKIP, Conservative and Labour Party members of parliament.

Vote Leave is being funded by former Conservative treasurer Peter Cruddas and Labour supporter John Mills.[2] Members of parliament who are supporting the organisation include UKIP MP Douglas Carswell, Labour MPs Kate Hoey and Kelvin Hopkins, as well as Conservative MPs Steve Baker, Bernard Jenkin and Owen Paterson. Former Ulster Unionist Party leader Lord Trimble and Green Party of England and Wales peer Baroness Jones also support Vote Leave.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage fronts the rival Leave.EU campaign, yet claimed on 11 October that the two organisations are complementary of each other, and target a different audience.[3]
