| 释义 |
The British Empire Party was a minor right-wing party in the United Kingdom. It was founded in the early 1950s by P. J. Ridout, a former member of the Imperial Fascist League.[1] In the 1951 general election, the party stood one candidate, Trefor David, in Ogmore, who received 1,643 votes. A former Plaid Cymru member and miner, David gained some supporters amongst local miners but saw his support reduced after a local paper revealed the fascist past of Ridout.[2] The party gained a brief boost in 1951 when Arnold Leese told his followers to join the group, although ultimately the minor levels of support that Leese commanded made little difference.[3] References1. ^Peter Barberis, John McHugh and Mike Tyldesley, Encyclopedia of British and Irish Political Organizations {{UK far right}}2. ^David Boothroyd, Politico's Guide to the History of British Political Parties, 2001, p. 17 3. ^Dave Renton, Fascism, Anti-Fascism and Britain in the 1940s, Basingstoke: Macmillan, 2000, p. 51 4 : Political parties established in 1951|Defunct political parties in the United Kingdom|Far-right politics in the United Kingdom|1951 establishments in the United Kingdom |
