Other Parties By The Name
There have since been several parties which have adopted the "English National Party" name, some of which have also claimed its heritage. These include a far right organisation formed by Raymond Edwin Shenton in 1984, which contested the Enfield Southgate by-election, 1984; and a party founded in 1991 by Christopher Nickerson which has contested a couple of parliamentary elections. Robin Tilbrook founded another in 1997, which was relaunced as the English Democrats in 2002, though the registration for the English National Party has also been maintained and Tilbrook is the nominating officer for both.
In April 1999, a group calling itself the "English National Party" was one of four different organizations which claimed responsibility for a nail-bomb attack in Brixton.

Famous quotes containing the word parties:
“People who live in the post-totalitarian system know only too well that the question of whether one or several political parties are in power, and how these parties define and label themselves, is of far less importance than the question of whether or not it is possible to live like a human being.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
