The
National Front is an extreme right-wing
United Kingdom political party. It was founded on
February 7,
1967 under the chairmanship of
Arthur K. Chesterton[?], a cousin of the novelist
G.K. Chesterton[?], with the purpose of fighting immigration and multi-culturalist policies in Britain. Schisms led to the foundation of another right-wing political party, the
British National Party. The fortunes of the National Front have subsequently waned.
