  • BNP Meltdown in 2011 Elections INTRODUCTION
    Unite Against Fascism briefing: BNP meltdown in 2011 elections INTRODUCTION The 2011 elections were a humiliation for the fascist British National Party (BNP). The results are a victory for all the anti- fascist campaigners who have distributed hundreds of thousands of leaflets and tabloids urging voters to Stop the BNP. The election disaster will only add to the scale of the crisis inside the party. The BNP suffered its worse set of local election results since it first stood significant numbers of candidates in 2002. It was wiped out in its key target city of Stoke-on-Trent and is reduced to only one councillor in Burnley — once considered a BNP powerbase. This defeat for the BNP comes after years of a patient and principled UAF campaign that exposed them as Nazis. The UAF are proud to have worked with local and national organisations to mobilise as wide as possible participation in the campaign to stop them. The BNP was already reeling from crisis to crisis ahead of the polls. In March, long-standing Nazi and BNP MEP Andrew Brons, warned the party faithful that bitter infighting could bring the BNP to “an ignominious end before the end of this year”. The party has also been wracked with financial and legal problems. The BNP stood more than 268 candidates across the country — far fewer than the 744 it put up when the same seats were contested in 2007. It struggled in many areas to get its campaign off the ground, with activists divided and demoralised and leader Nick Griffin under fire from his troops.

The University of Sheffield Bringing politics back in: the impact of extreme-right parties on immigration policy in the UK, France and Italy during the 2000s João Miguel Duarte de Carvalho A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Department of Politics Faculty of Social Sciences Sheffield, February 2012 Abstract This comparative study examines the impact of extreme-right parties on immigration policy in the UK, France and Italy between 2001 and 2009. The thesis develops a synthesis of two different strands of work in political science: the extreme-right parties’ literature alongside immigration studies. Immigration studies often refer to extreme-right parties as a factor behind restrictive developments on immigration policy whilst ERP literature refers often to immigration but tell us very little about its complexity. Past comparative research throughout the 1990s suggested that members of the extreme-right party family exhibit similar significant levels of impact across different countries. This thesis compares whether the British National Party, the French Front National and the Italian Lega Nord had a significant impact on the three dimensions of immigration politics and policy: inter-party competition; public attitudes; and immigration policy development in the UK, France and Italy.

  • British National Party: Topical Bibliography
    SOCIAL SCIENCE COLLECTION GUIDES TOPICAL BIBLIOGRAPHIES www.bl.uk/socialsciences A timeline of resources on the British National Party INTRODUCTION The following timeline and resource guide is written in the context of the gains made by the British National Party at the June 2009 European Parliamentary Elections, and subsequent wider discussion about the party. Its focus is on the ideological background of the party, its founders and key figures. This resource guide covers four types of material: • commentary and research on the far right and electoral behaviour in the UK; • contemporary news reporting; • publications and websites of the BNP, National Front and other far-right groups (and recordings of members); and • publications and websites of anti-fascist organisations. It is not an exhaustive bibliography, but seeks to describe the rich resources held at the Library to improve understanding of this controversial topic. The guide was compiled as part of a six week research project carried out by Nicole LaLonde, an MA postgraduate student, at the Library. The foreword, written by Nicole, explains more about the origins and aims of that project, and how this timeline has been structured. Many of the sources listed in this guide take a strong political and ideological bias. As with previous guides, no political viewpoint is expressed, although due to the nature of some of the sources covered, and the material being retained unexpurgated as a valid record of what has been expressed, users are warned that certain items contain racist or otherwise offensive material. They may contain text, images and comments that could cause offence, and involve issues of race and racism.
