The '''British National Party (BNP)''' is a [[United Kingdom|British]] political party, which promotes racism and anti-semitism. The BNP's current leader is [[Nick Griffin]].<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8088381.stm</ref> Though it is often described as being on the extreme right wing of politicsby the liberal media, it espouses a number of fiscally left-wing policies. For example, although it is in favor of deporting non-white people from the UK,<ref>http://www.bnp.org.uk/policies/immigration</ref> it also favors substantial government involvement in the [[economy]].
The BNP has ties to [[Neo-Nazi]] and [[Anti-Semitism|anti-semitic]] groups, and on one occasion Nick Griffin attended a meeting of white nationalists in Texas with former [[Ku Klux Klan]] leader David Duke<ref> BNP Nick Griffin + KKK terrorist [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04QolIvfQEw]</ref>.
