As Britain heads into election season (if you didn't know a bunch of elections are taking place on May 6th) we thought we should take a look at the parties which don't normally attract attention. So in this video, we look at Britain's fringe parties, the ones who have no real shot at winning but for some reason still take part.
Ft: The Yorkshire Party, UKIP, The Liberal Party, Aontu, the Monster Raving Loony Party and the Christian Peoples Alliance

You have to get approval from the party in order to stand as a candidate for them, hence why they are "official" candidates. There is at least one breakaway party (the Eccentric party) which has run candidates against them in by-elections.

Electoral system in UK is fucked up. 4 million votes and only one representative. In proportional system it would result in several seats. UK will never see major change unless electoral system is changed but it's not going to happen because it favours two main players. Plenty of people vote for lesser of two evils or don't vote at all because of that rigged electoral system. You feel like like there's no point to vote because your vote will go to waste.

@petertrevorah7388 3 года назад

In the 2015 general election, Mebyon Kernow (The Party for Cornwall) achieved more than the 5000 vote threshold for this video. In the 2019 election, they decided to pour all their resources into getting just one (albeit outstanding) candidate elected. Sadly, this new strategy did not succeed but I think the party is worth an ‘honorable mention’ here as it consistently fields successful candidates in municipal elections.

Small parties like this is important for another reason.

Their existence makes people aware of that.

10:24 - I actually have to disagree. Protest votes, imo, could very well affect the influence of established parties. At least theoretically. That's what the protest is, after all. Those people who vote for them trying to show the established parties that something is wrong. That the system isn't working for them.

@kaitlyn__L 3 года назад

Indeed, spoiled ballots and votes for protest parties are tallied and counted, and registered as dissatisfaction. Not voting is merely counted as “voter apathy” and they don’t give a damn. (Even though those who don’t vote because “they’re all the same”, who live in hollowed out shadows of their former town, are arguably far more dissatisfied with the system than those who make protest votes. But that’s not how the system counts it.)

Also, the Lib Dems have been in government more recently than Labour and got several of their key policy promises made into law.

At least you Brits have some third parties in the House of Commons, that NEVER happens in the US.

Isn’t Bernie an Independent? Albeit, he’s the only example I can think of. (Fun fact, he has a brother, Larry, who was involved in local politics in Oxford for a while.)

@@kaitlyn__L Yeah, we have two "Independents" in the Senate, but Bernie is sometimes a Democrat when he runs for President. The other is Angus King who used to be a Democrat, but still votes with them.

Would love a video explaining the difference between different ideologies. You mentioned libertarianism in the video. : )

Ideally should have included reference to First Past the Post and how tactical voting can be a better option until (if ever) Proportional Representation is adopted.

In the Netherlaands we had 37 parties participating in the March elections of which 17 parties were voted into parliament. (150 seats). Just saying.

Can we just laugh at the fact that the Northern Independence Party is too much of a failure even to be considered a fringe party? They couldn't do their paperwork properly so I don't think they even fit the legal definition of a political party.

I have also watched JJ McCullough's Canadian fringe parties video! I found both videos to be quite informative! Thanks!

A lot of the time the UK feels like a one party system, these days.

Hey, great video. Just from Ireland to say that Aontù is actually pronounced Aon-tuu - it's hard to pronounced since it's irish

I am so glad JJ has gone so far. I subbed him first from my another account before he had a 100K subs. I hope his channel grows a lot more. He provides true premium content, in my opinion.

Fascinating overview. Living in Dublin and having voted for Aontú it is bizarre to hear them described as a 'British' party, even if is technically partially true since they run in Northern Ireland. You probably should note that (like Sinn Fein) they operate in both the North and in the Republic.

It is so weird, as an American, to see blue as the color of right-wing policies. I know, they're completely arbitrary, and we both only have two colors on our flag that aren't white. It just pulled me up short for a second to anti-abortion shown as a blue shift.

I think some fringe parties don't help themselves by causing fighting amongst themselves. UKIP and the Liberal Party would fair much better, for example, if they worked together, instead of rivalling each other. They could call it, the UK Liberal Party.
