The party’s chairman Zia Yusuf put the new constitution to a vote on the conference floor on Saturday.

He said the party would become a not-for-profit organisation governed by the party’s new rulebook, with no shareholders.

Only a few people in the crowd raised their hands to vote against the party rulebook.

Under the new constitution, the party’s board and the leader are responsible for setting policy, with input from members at conferences.

But members will be able to remove Farage – or any other party leader – in a no-confidence vote.

A vote can be triggered if 50% of all members write to the chairman requesting a motion of no confidence.

Reform MPs can also force a vote if 50 of them, or 50% of them, write to the chairman requesting one. But this only applies if there are more than 100 Reform MPs in Parliament – a high bar.
