Other Unionist Parties

British National Party (BNP)

The British National Party is an extreme right wing neo-fascist unionist party which has had some minor success at local election level in certain areas in England. It is very strongly anti-immigration and anti-EU. It is also hostile towards the Scottish Parliament.

UK Independence Party (UKIP)

Another party on the political right which is very anti-European. UKIP have had some success at European level in England and have a number of Euro-MP's. Former chat show host Robert Kilroy Silk (after an unsuccessful leadership challenge) left UKIP to form his own party Veritas. UKIP is also hostile to the Scottish Parliament and believes it should be abolished with its duties retaken by Westminster. This 'solution' has also been advocated by former Conservative Secretary of State for Scotland Michael Forsyth (now Lord Forsyth).  

Scottish Unionist Party (SUP)

Tiny grouping which is sympathetic to unionists in Northern Ireland and is defined by an antagonistic attitude towards the SNP. "The SUP believes that there should be no compromise or appeasement with Nationalists of any description." The SUP also "opposes religious apartheid in our schools."
