Excerpt: The British National Party (BNP) is a far-right political party formed as a splinter group from the National Front by John Tyndall in 1982 and currently led by Nick Griffin. The BNP advocates "firm but voluntary incentives for immigrants and their descendants to return home," as well as the repeal of anti-discrimination legislation. It restricted membership to "indigenous British" people until a 2010 legal challenge to its constitution. The party advocates capital punishment for serious offences, and seeks to promote the nuclear family. It opposes what it perceives as the Islamification of the United Kingdom, as well as homosexuality and abortion. The party has been accused of fascism, but denies that it is racist or fascist. The BNP finished fifth in the 2008 London mayoral election with 5.2% of the vote, winning a seat in the London Assembly.

The National Front had organised marches in an attempt to raise its profile, which sometimes led to violent clashes with political opponents such as the Anti-Nazi League. Members of Tyndall's New National Front, wished to modernise and move away from fascist ideology, blaming the old National Front for its lack of popular appeal. Tynd
