single-issue party: Encyclopedia II - Veritas political party - 2005 election

The party's first electoral opportunity was the General Election on 5 May 2005, and its principal challenge was to supplant UKIP as the foremost UK party committed to outright rejection of the European Union. On the day of the party's launch The Times suggested that the party wished to challenge for most seats, but in fact the party ran candidates in only 62 seats (about 10%). Kilroy-Silk himself contested the seat of Erewash in Derbyshire, held by Elizabeth Blackman of the Labour Party. He finsihed fourth, with 5.8 ...

single-issue party: Encyclopedia II - RESPECT The Unity Coalition - History and electoral performance

The coalition sought to challenge Tony Blair from the left at the London Assembly and European Parliament elections in 2004 and gained a quarter of a million votes. This is the best result, in aggregate, ever achieved by the socialist left outside of the Labour Party. The party claims that these votes have been achieved primarily by capitalising on the 2003 anti-war protests and by attracting the votes of "Old Labour" supporters who feel Blair has moved the party too far to the right of their socialist beliefs. The correlation between the pe ...

single-issue party: Encyclopedia II - United Kingdom Independence Party - History

UKIP was founded in 1993, by Alan Sked and other members of the all-party Anti-Federalist League. The central aim of the party was to seek the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. The new party attracted many from the anti-European wing of the Conservative Party, which was split on the European question after the pound was forced out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism in 1992 and the struggle over ratification of the Maastricht Treaty. UKIP candidates stood in the 1997 general election, but were overshadowed by Jame ...

single-issue party: Encyclopedia II - United Kingdom Independence Party - Current representatives

UKIP has about thirty local councillors, many of whom are defectors from other parties. In the 2004 elections it won twelve seats in the European Parliament and two in the London Assembly (Damian Hockney and Peter Hulme-Cross). In 2005 Robert Kilroy-Silk and both MLAs defected to form a new political party, Veritas. However, all three defectors have since left Veritas. Another MEP, Ashley Mote, who was elected as an MEP for South East England, had the UKIP whip removed on 15 July 2004, because he had not informed them previously of an immine ...

single-issue party: Encyclopedia II - United Kingdom Independence Party - Eurosceptics in the European Parliament

In 2004, 37 MEPs from the UK, Poland, Denmark and Sweden founded a new European Parliament group called Independence and Democracy from the old EDD group. The main goals of this group are to reject the Treaty establishing a constitution for Europe and to oppose further European integration. Some delegations within the group, including UKIP, advocate the complete withdrawal of their country from the EU. The group's leaders are Nigel Farage of UKIP (10 MEPs), Jens-Peter Bonde of Denmark ...

single-issue party: Encyclopedia II - Veritas political party - Aftermath of the 2005 election

Following the election, there were signs that the Veritas Party was beginning to fall apart. Members resigned, returned to UKIP or joined the English Democrats. On 12 July 2005 party member Ken Wharton announced that he intended to challenge Kilroy-Silk for the leadership, claiming party members were "not being looked after". Discontented party members set up the Veritas Members Association to "put the truth back into Veritas". Kilroy-Silk resigned as party leader on 29 July 2005. In his resignation statement, he stated that "the elec ...

single-issue party: Encyclopedia II - United Kingdom Independence Party - The UKIP and the far right

UKIP's constitution contains an entrenched clause guaranteeing the party's support for a multi-racial society, and party rules require all candidates to declare that they have no past or present links with far right organisations. Despite its stated policies, some critics of the UKIP claim links between it and far-right groups. Aidan Rankin, co-author of the party's 2001 manifesto, was once involved with the Third Way, a more "moderate" breakaway from the National Front (though he has since repudiated these views and has denied ever b ...

single-issue party: Encyclopedia II - United Kingdom Independence Party - 2004 & 2005 elections

UKIP's expectations were high before the European Parliament election, 2004, with a number of opinion polls – starting with one from yougov - showed them on course to beat the Liberal Democrats and pick up a dozen MEPs. These predictions proved accurate with UKIP winning 16.8% of the vote. There was a controversy over internet polls overestimating the UKIP vote, although many traditional face to face polls had underestimated the UKIP vote in the opposite direction. UKIP won seats in eight regions, and, taking votes from all three major pol ...

single-issue party: Encyclopedia II - RESPECT The Unity Coalition - Criticisms of Respect

Critics of Respect such as the Socialist Party, as well as the Alliance for Workers' Liberty and Workers Power, former members of the Socialist Alliance, claim that it is undemocratic and has an overly London-centric, top-down approach, its initial programme having been created largely by negotiations between the SWP and George Galloway. Respect has countered this claim by stating that it is simply false, that the Respect programme was formed as an "emergency response" to the June 10 European and local elections, and that a full constitution ...

single-issue party: Encyclopedia II - RESPECT The Unity Coalition - International affiliation

While Respect is not part of any international organisation and has no formal links to any party from other countries, it does have fraternal links with various organisations. Respect participates however in the European Anticapitalist Left. The Labour and Social Justice Party is a recently founded party which can been seen as a German counterpart of Respect. Respect is registered as a political party in Scotland but have claimed that this is just so no one else uses their name in Scotland. They have not stood i ...

single-issue party: Encyclopedia II - RESPECT The Unity Coalition - Policies

Respect is seen by many mainstream commentators as a single-issue party focusing on opposition to the war in Iraq. However, it claims to "provide a broad-based and inclusive alternative to the parties of privatisation, war, and occupation" and to have a broad progressive agenda. Some of the policies it has also campaigned on include: Renationalisation of the railways and other public services. Opposition to the alleged privatisation of the National Health Service and the education system, including opposit ...

single-issue party: Encyclopedia II - United Kingdom Independence Party - Policies

Although the UKIP's main raison d'être is, without a doubt, the EU, it rejects the notion that it is a single-issue party. Its economic stance is largely similar to that of the opposition Conservative Party and that implemented by the ruling Labour Party since 1997, though it notes that it could offer both increased public spending and reduced taxation through ceasing to pay levies of £12.5bn per annum to the EU. It might then support ...

single-issue party: Encyclopedia II - RESPECT The Unity Coalition - International affiliation

While Respect is not part of any international organisation and has no formal links to any party from other countries, it does have fraternal links with various organisations. It sees itself as part of the new European anti-capitalist left, including Italy’s Rifondazione Comunista and Portugal's Leftwing Bloc. In this sense it is close to the pan-European Union party European Left. The Labour and Social Justice Party is a recen ...
