British National Party (BNP)

The British National Party (BNP) is a far-right political party in the United Kingdom, founded in 1982. It is known for its nationalist and anti-immigration stance, advocating for policies that it claims protect British culture and interests. The BNP has faced criticism for promoting racism and xenophobia, often opposing immigration and multiculturalism. While it gained some electoral support in the early 2000s, especially in local elections, its influence has declined significantly. The party's controversial views and actions have led to legal and social challenges, impacting its reputation and viability in mainstream British politics.
