British Democratic Party : ウィキペディア英語版 | British Democratic Party
The British Democratic Party (BDP) was a short-lived far-right political party in the United Kingdom. A breakaway group from the National Front the BDP was severely damaged after it became involved in a gun-running sting and was absorbed by the British National Party.〔 ==Formation and naming controversy== The BDP emerged following the 1979 general election in which the National Front (NF) had put up the greatest number of candidates in its history. However despite this results fell way below the party's expectations. The recriminations that followed this financially costly defeat saw Andrew Brons replace John Tyndall as chairman whilst a number of groups broke away from the NF, notably the New National Front and the Constitutional Movement.〔R. Hill & A. Bell, ''The Other Face of Terror - Inside Europe’s Neo-Nazi Network'', London: Collins, 1988, pp.90-91〕 Within the NF, the Leicester branch had become one of the most active in the country and, since 1972, this group had been led by Anthony Reed Herbert, a local solicitor whose talent for organisation had made Leicester a model branch.〔Hill & Bell, ''The Other Face of Terror'', pp. 85-86〕 Reed Herbert took the opportunity provided by the 1979 collapse of the NF to launch his own group, initially selecting the name British Peoples Party. However, the name was quickly changed in order to avoid association with the earlier British People's Party, a splinter group from the National Socialist League, organised either side of the Second World War.〔S. Taylor, ''The National Front in English Politics'', London: Macmillan, 1982, p. 91〕 The name was thus changed to British Democratic Party even though a British Democratic Party, a minor right wing anti-communist group, had also previously existed in the 1930s.〔Robert Benewick, ''Political Violence and Public Order'', Allan Lane: 1969, p. 289〕 The BDP shared with the Constitutional Movement a desire to move away from open neo-Nazism in general and Tyndall and Martin Webster in particular, with Reed Herbert reasoning that a stream of press exposures of the more extreme views of both men had hit the NF's election chances hard.〔Hill & Bell, ''The Other Face of Terror'', p. 92〕 Effectively therefore the BDP sought to present a more "respectable" public image in contrast to that of the NF.〔Peter Barberis, John McHugh, Mike Tyldesley, ''Encyclopedia of British and Irish Political Organizations: Parties, Groups and Movements of the 20th Century'', Continuum International Publishing Group, 2000, p. 176〕
