The National Front is a far right-wing British Political party that had its heyday during the 1970s and '80s.

Chesterton and former leader of the League of Empire Loyalists, with the purpose of fighting immigration and multi-culturalist policies in Britain. Schisms led to the foundation of several other right-wing political parties, including the British National Party. The fortunes of the National Front have subsequently waned, although it still exists as a small party, and fielded 7 candidates at the 1997 General Election.
