The Freedom Party is a small right wing British political party.
Born of the influential Revolutionary Conservative Caucus the party was founded in December 2000, by former members of the British National Party who were disaffected with the party's refusal to moderate its position on race and after an internal feud between the British National Party leadership and Steve and Sharron Edwards, both former BNP activists in the West Midlands. Sharron Edwards is now the deputy chairman of the Freedom Party, while Steve Edwards is its national agent. The chairman is Adrian Davies. Former Conservative MP Andrew Hunter was associated with the party. He is now a member of the Democratic Unionist Party
Most of the leadership are prominent in the Bloomsbury Forum , a right-wing discussion group.
The party is primarily anti immigration, although it claims to place more of an emphasis on culture rather than race. It is seen as a classic example of a Euronationalist movement. It is more moderate on issues such as race than the British National Party, a party with which it has a stormy relationship. It believes in free enterprise, although is also protectionist. At present it has one councillor in the West Midlands.
