New Britain

[edit]

Describing the New Britain Party as "Far Right" is misleading in this context. While its longtime leader Denis Delderfield clearly has been shown to have extreme anti-immigration views, this fact was not apparent in the early 1990s when Natrass (and Jeffrey Titford) were members. I remember seeing references to the New Britain Party in eurosceptic publications during that time, and there was never any mention of the party having extreme right wing or anti-immigration policies. It was then promoting itself purely as an anti-EU party. Therefore to interpret the party in retrospect as "Far Right" in order to imply that Natrass is also "Far Right" (and that does seem to be the implication, in this context) is definitely POV. I have therefore deleted the words "Far Right", though I'd be happy to discuss this further here. Personally I'd also be happy to apply the term "Far Right" to the New Britain Party today (so far as it still exists) - I just think it is POV to apply it to the New Britain Party of the early 90s.
