A young Rupert Lowe resigns from the Conservatives over European integration.
In 1993, Rupert Lowe left the Conservative Party over disagreements regarding the Maastricht Treaty.
The treaty, which created the European Union and expanded European integration, was controversial among British Conservatives.
Lowe's departure demonstrated his Euroscepticism long before it became a mainstream political force.
This early decision set the course for his later political involvement with Eurosceptic parties including the Referendum Party, Brexit Party, and Reform UK.
