Liberty GB is a small right-wing party established in Britain in March 2013 by figures previously associated with the British Freedom Party.[1] It is headed by Paul Weston, a former UKIP candidate and counterjihad activist.
Liberty GB describes itself on its Facebook page as 'a patriotic counter-jihad party for Christian civilisation, Western rights and freedoms, British culture, animal welfare and capitalism'. [2] In November 2014 it had just over 9180 'likes'.
Liberty GB overwhelmingly failed to convince British voters of its cause in the 2015 general election, winning a total of just 418 votes across the country in three constituencies including Luton South.
