The New Party were a political party briefly active in the United Kingdom in the early 1930s.
They were formed by Oswald Mosley, who had become disaffected with the Labour Party when at their 1930 conference they narrowly rejected his "Mosley Manifesto", a document he had written outlining how he would deal with the problem of unemployment.
Some parts of the New Party had already began to adopt fascist thinking, its youth movement for example, and in 1932 Mosley united the various fascist organisations in the UK, forming the British Union of Fascists, to which the New Party subsumed itself.

 Sir Oswald Mosley -- Briton, Fascist, European
His New Party meetings had been wrecked when the stewards wore no uniform (for instance at the Rag Market in Birmingham), but BUF meetings were not wrecked because the stewards wore the distinctive fl shirt; that was the acid test.
Mosley was deeply concerned with this question in his Labour days, being much impressed with Lloyd George's inner cabinet of five men with wide powers which had won the First World War, and in his Memorandum proposed a "machinery of government" to modernize industry and solve unemployment.
Those parties had become the political armies of the class system, and the Mosley who placed nation before party and valued the individual for his abilities, not his class background, was in that sense a man before his time, the time when the parties would decline through their own shortcomings and corruptions.

 S Y N T H E S I S - Oswald Mosley: The Rise & Fall of English Fascism Between 1918-45
In 1918 Mosley became the Conservative Party MP for Harrow, although he was first and foremost a staunch Unionist and “rarely, if ever, described himself as a Conservative.”[ 11 ] Indeed, by 1920 he had left the Party with many people speculating that he was gravitating towards Labour.
Although Mosley was renowned for his flirtation with several of the existing Establishment parties, when he initially entered the domain of Fascist politics he was in possession of one or two very strong ideological principles (although policy-making decisions were gradually left to others as time wore on).
But despite Mosley’s charismatic leadership and his ability to win recruits for the BUF by capitalising upon the issue of Jewish power and securing the short-term financial support of Lord Rothermere, English Fascism was eventually destroyed by its own ideological and strategic contradictions.
