Talk:National Party (UK, 1976)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Edit conflict
Could the anonymous user who keeps deleting the text about the Strasserite wing of the party please check M. Walker, The National Front, Glasgow: Fontana Collins, 1977 where this is dealt with at some length. Also please provide a source for the party being called National Party of the United Kingdom or NPUK as any books I have read do not refer to this. Thanks for your input to the article otherwise and please consider registering with Wikipedia. Keresaspa 15:59, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
I've just reverted edits on the John Kingsley Read page for the same reason. I can only conclude that someone is reading the title National Party (UK, 1976) and assuming the bracketed UK is part of the name and not just there for disambiguation. Emeraude 10:55, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Privatisation/Denationalisation
The article says the NP was the first party to advocate privatisation of utilities, even before the Conservatives. I feel this is confusing; while it may be true regarding utilities, the Conservative governments elected after 1951 did reverse nationalisations made by the 1945 Labout government (e.g. steel). I'm also fairly certain that the policy was not one for which the NP was widely known. Should it be even mentioned, or does it need clarifying? Emeraude 10:55, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
