UK Parties: UKIP and the English Democrats [View all]

I would post a link to the BNP website, but I find them to be just too repellent. It is however worth noting that in recent years a lot of support for the BNP has collapsed and a lot of former BNP supporters have moved to UKIP and also the English Democrats.
