Talk:English National Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've not seen anything to suggest that the EIP was a re-establishment of the ENP. If it wasn't, then the whole paragraph about it is irrelevant. Warofdreams talk 00:12, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

In 1991 Christopher Nickerson, fed up with the parties of the day, created his own party which was called the English National Party. When Robin Tilbrook, a lawyer, registered the name with the EC Christopher had to rename his party. Ironicly this helped his party because people were getting ENP mixed with BNP, something Tilbrook fount and was unoffically one reason he renamed his party.

So Nickerson's party had no connection with the original ENP, other than the name? If so, I'll remove the paragraph and just leave the disambiguation link at the top. Warofdreams talk 12:42, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't know for sure if he had connections with the old ENP. Do you have references that say Robin Tilbrook was connected with the ENP besides registering the name?

I edited the page:

`In 1991, by leader Christopher Nickerson, a new English National Party was created.`

Does this rewritten sentence solve the problem?

I can't find any hard evidence for connections between the Tilbrook's group and the ENP, although this cached webpage strongly implies them, so I've reworked the section to remove this claim and also include a tiny party established in 1983. Warofdreams talk 23:29, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
