The New Nationalist Party was a small, far-right political party founded by former members of the British National Party (BNP) in 2006. It was based in the West Midlands and its most prominent member was the former BNP member Sharon Ebanks. Earlier in 2006, Ebanks was briefly a councillor in the Kingstanding ward in Birmingham before being forced to resign when it was shown that she had been awarded it due to counting irregularities despite losing the election.[1][2]

The party, which used the slogan "Neither Left nor Right, but British", was registered with the Electoral Commission on 11 December 2006 and deregistered on 1 November 2008.[3]
