The English Democrats Party is the largest English Nationalist Political Party in England committed to the formation of a Devolved English Parliament with at least the same powers as those granted to the Scottish Parliament . FORMATION In 1997, and in response to calls for the devolution of power to Scotland and Wales , Robin Tilbrook formed the ''English National Party'', with the aim of reforming the defunct English National Party which had been founded in the 1960s, but had ceased operating as a party by 1981. The English National Party formed by Tilbrook included members of the Campaign For An English Parliament , a Pressure Group that lobbies for a devolved English parliament. The party was relaunched as the English Democrats Party in September 2002 , after merging with several other smaller political parties. In October 2004 , the party merged with the Reform UK Party, which was a small splinter group from the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP). The New England Party merged with the English Democrats in February 2007. Beginning in 2006 a steady flow of members have left UKIP to join the English Democrats, in particular former UKIP Twickenham Vice-Chairman, Andrew Constantine; and former UKIP Eastern Counties Chairman, Brian Lee. The English Democrats are co-founders of the English Constitutional Convention. |
