United Country Party
The
United Country Party
were a minor
political party
operating in the
United Kingdom
in the
1970s
. They were anti-
immigration
and were chaired by the well known
astronomer
Patrick Moore
for a period. They claimed to represent "people with common sense" and were born out of the weakness of the final days of the government of
James Callaghan
. In general the party was born out of
right wing
frustration at the moderate policies pursued by
Edward Heath
during his leadership of the
Conservative Party
. As such the election of
Margaret Thatcher
as Prime Minister sounded a death knell for the United Country Party at their inception. In the
1979 general election
they stood two candidates who received 1,033 votes between them. Both lost their deposit. In
1980
they were absorbed into the right-wing
New Britain Party
.
