White Nationalist Party

The White Nationalist Party (WNP) is a United Kingdom political party, the UK arm of Aryan Unity, which considers racial separatism as fundamental to a healthy society. This differentiates the WNP from several other nationalist parties in the UK, notably the British National Party, which has seen several internal disputes over the issue of race. However, the WNP supports the views of the BNP's founder John Tyndall, since expelled from that party; in fact, the WNP have stated (on their website) that they would probably support that party if Tyndall took back the leadership. The WNP split from the BNP in mid 2002 in order to offer a more extremist alternative. Under the leadership of Mark Cotterill, the former organiser of the now defunct American Friends of the BNP, the party supports forced repatriation, corporatism, stringent international isolationism, reorganisation of the Trade Unions, increased armament, the outlawing of "homosexualism" and "a moral, spiritual and physical revolution in the hearts and minds of the masses so that all become part of a healthy, clean and energetic folk state". Advocating activism and publicity stunts, the WNP are virulently anti-Semitic and neo-Nazi (and almost reminiscent of what Nick Griffin himself was advocating when he first joined the BNP). Cotterill recently entered the arena of electoral politics, albeit under the banner of England First after the Electoral Commission refused permission for the WNP name.
On 6th June,2005 the White Nationalist Party National Council decided at a meeting in Sheffield to pass out of existence and to turn its membership over to the Nationalist Alliance.
