EnglishIndependenceParty.com - representing the English people

The EIP was the first political party in the current era to recognise that if we English are to preserve our identity in a world of easy international travel where national boundaries have been weakened, we must start by restoring the identity of England. To do this we must recognise that the United Kingdom is a state and not a nation , and that Britishness is no longer a strong enough identity for us. We therefore advocate the division of the United Kingdom into a family of nations within the British Isles, which should include the Republic of Ireland. We also advocate, among other things listed in our Manifesto, a compassionate mixed economy, a classless society, and a single-tier education system paid for by government. While in many ways we overlap the policies of the Conservatives, Labour, and Liberal Democrats, we are a nationalist party and, like the SNP and Plaid Cymru, have to be understood as a nationalist party.
