Talk:New Right (UK)

National-Anarchism
User:Harrypotter has proposed merging the New Right (UK) article into the National-Anarchism article because he claims that New Right is simply a front organization for the national-anarchist movement. --Loremaster (talk) 20:09, 7 February 2010 (UTC)


 * At Loremaster's suggestion, I'll repeat here the reasons for opposing the merger which I posted on Talk:National-Anarchism.


 * Maybe in Australia, New Right and N-A come down to the same thing (at least, last time I checked) but in the U.K. they seem to be notionally distinct. The European New Right has been a major influence on N-A from its very inception but, because there have been other inputs along the way, I couldn't technically call N-A a European New Right ideology. I'd say it's more a case of symbiosis. The New Right idea aspires to wide intellectual/cultural influence and is not the property of any particular political formation. The invite to the (cancelled) official founding meeting stated, "this dynamic and strictly metapolitical group seeks to unite the disparate strands of the British Right and get everybody pulling in the same direction" and that's unlikely to be misrepresentation. Subsequent posts on the Red Action Discussion Forum from 'Arktos-Anarch' (presumably Southgate) claim that the phrase "British Right" was not intended to include the "far right", who weren't invited, and that one purpose of the meeting was to establish common ground between N-A and ENR, which presupposes there are differences to overcome. To that end, continental NR thinkers Robert Steuckers and Tomislav Sunic were invited to speak, neither of whom has ever to my knowledge identified as a National-Anarchist. Why go to this trouble for a private meeting if it was just to set up an N-A front organisation rather than a genuine ideological encounter? Gnostrat (talk) 23:22, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Nouvelle Droite
In light of Gnostrat's comments and the lack of replies from others as well as the weak notability of the UK New Right, I've canceled Harrypotter's merge proposal and replaced it with my proposal that we merge New Right (UK) article into the Nouvelle Droite article. --Loremaster (talk) 18:37, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

When did this outfit become defunct?
Its demise was announced in the article with this uncited 24 January 2017 edit by 86.142.165.232, an IP who has only made two edits. Can we find any formal news reports of the demise of this organisation? Did it survive Jonathan Bowden or die with him? wbm1058 (talk) 18:56, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * We don't seem to have any citation post-dating Jonathan Bowden's death; New Right doesn't seem to have been registered as a company, nor as a political party, so its hard to be sure. As you'll see from elsewhere, I've proceded with the merge (as an alternative to deletion). Klbrain (talk) 20:10, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * It certainly seems that way by virtue of the fact that they´re website can only be accessed through the web archive. StrongALPHA (talk) 16:09, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
