UKIP has said it is considering legal action over the name of another Eurosceptic party contesting the forthcoming European elections.
A party called An Independence from Europe has been set up by a former UKIP MEP, Mike Nattrass, who was deselected as a candidate by the party.
UKIP said it would protest to the Electoral Commission to try to get the name ruled unfair, arguing that it was clearly designed to "con voters".
Mr Nattrass vowed not to melt away.
But a spokesman for the UK Independence Party said the party would "fight this all the way" and if it did not get satisfaction from the electoral commission it would seek a judicial review.
An Independence from Europe, which is using the tagline "UK Independence Now" on ballot papers, has pledged to field a full slate of candidates in England for the European elections, including an all-woman list in the north west.
