Patriotic Party (UK)

The group began life as the True Tories in 1962 when Major-General Richard Hilton, formerly a leading member of the League of Empire Loyalists, set up his own nationalistic group with a membership largely made up of former military figures.

The group adopted the "Patriotic Party" name for the 1964 general election and sponsored two candidates.

[1] Hilton's True Tories failed to take off and he became associated with the 1960s British National Party, before the remnants of both the Patriotic Party and the True Tories were absorbed by the National Front on its foundation in 1967.
