Elections

For Britain is a minor alt-right political party in the United Kingdom. It was founded by the anti-Islam activist Anne Marie Waters in October 2017, after she was defeated in the 2017 UKIP leadership election by Henry Bolton.

Waters left UKIP and formed For Britain after she and her supporters were described as "Nazis and racists" by Bolton and UKIP's former leader Nigel Farage. The name is taken from her UKIP leadership campaign slogan, "Anne Marie For Britain". Waters said that the party would "speak to the forgotten people".[1] However, For Britain is not registered with the Electoral Commission, a requirement for any political party wishing to put up candidates in elections and to solicit donations for campaigns.

The party has won the support of Tommy Robinson, former leader of the English Defence League.[2] Its platform includes reducing Muslim immigration to the UK to near zero, and to "bring the entire EU project down".[3] The Times claimed that the party intends to fill the space left by the demise of the British National Party,[4] though the party denies this.[5]

In November 2017, the alt-right British nationalist political party Liberty GB merged into For Britain.[6]

Polices

For Britain supports a complete withdraw from the E.U., reducing the national debt, repealing the inheritance tax, ending green taxes, mandatory solar panels for new buildings, free speech, end foreign aid, reducing immigration overall.[7]
