Welcome to the British Tea Party
A few days ago my MHP colleague Nick Laitner speculated about whether or not we might see a Tea Party movement in the UK.
Technically, there already is a political party of that name as you can see from the Tea Party entry in the Electoral Commission’s official register of political parties.
However, if you take a look at its official logo (yes, that really is it), it may have some way to go on the presentation front:
See http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2011/may/13/pro-cuts-rally-against-debt for a comment from their treasurer (who is reported as a member of UKIP…)
Hi Mark – seen this on labour List today? http://www.labourlist.org/does-labour-need-its-own-tea-party-movement
I'm not sure voluntarily applying the label "Tea Party" to something you want to happen is a smart move in UK politics. Odd.
