The British Unicorn Party are a minor political
party in the United Kingdom. They are registered with the
Electoral Commission, recording
their leader as Paul O'Callaghan. The BUP have been registered
since July 282005.
Calling themselves a
"freedom party", the BUP have traditional right
wing manifesto views on crime, policing and education. Such
policies as putting "yobs" (or children who cause small-scale
crime) into what they call "Mental Health borstals" and giving people the freedom to
"defend themselves in any manner in their home" from criminals are
similar in tone to traditional 'small c' conservatism.
Their
manifesto also includes a centre-left desire to introduce an
elected head-of-state and anti-war view points; they are against
the invasion of Iraq.
As of 2006, the Unicorn party have no known electoral
history.
