New Right (UK)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Right is a United Kingdom based far-right group led by national anarchists Jonothon Boulter and Troy Southgate.
It has defined itself as follows: "We are opposed to liberalism, democracy and egalitarianism and fight to restore the eternal values and principles that have become submerged beneath the corrosive tsunami of the modern world." [1]
It was launched on January 16, 2005, with a meeting in central London.[2] This followed an initial meeting the previous month, in which it was pitched as a "dynamic and strictly metapolitical group [that] seeks to unite the disparate strands of the British Right and get everybody pulling in the same direction".[3].
New Right publishes a journal, New Imperium,[4] and has held meetings as recently as 13th January 2007. Politically, it seems to be distant from the wider British usage of the term New Right (the ideology of neoconservatism) and more similar to the French Nouvelle Droite or the American Imperial Party.
