 Oswald Mosley
Mosley was unsuccessful in his two attempts to enter the House of Commons for Kensington North (1959) and Shoreditch and Finsbury (1966).
The passing of the 1936 Public Order Act that made the wearing of political uniforms and private armies illegal, using threatening and abusive words a criminal offence, and gave the Home Secretary the powers to ban marches, completely undermined the activities of the BUF.

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).
In May 1930, Mosley resigned from his government post and tried to promote his objectives at the Party’s October conference instead.
Meanwhile, Mosley’s campaign in the 1924 election proved disastrous and he failed to get himself elected.

 Sir Oswald Mosley -- Briton, Fascist, European
The sole reason for his arrest and detention was his political opposition to the war, as Birkett admitted.
Dean Acheson, America's elder statesman, who from a lofty position in Washington had seen the world change, said about this time that "Britain had lost its old role in the world and had not found another." That was true and Mosley, closer to events, now advanced that new role for Britain, through European union.
Now it remains, but much has broken down in Britain since 1930, from the loss of faith in politicians to the ominous decline in law and order.

The government was sufficiently concerned, however, to pass the Public Order Act of 1936, which banned the wearing of political uniforms during marches, required police consent for political marches to go ahead, and effectively destroyed the movement.
However, the BUF never faced a General Election - feeling unready in 1935, they urged voters to abstain, offering the promise of "Fascism Next Time".

This is the stark truth of Britain today: Ken Clarke, the liberal establishment's favourite candidate was once a fervent admirer of the British fascist leader Oswald Mosley and led a purge of Jews in his local Conservative Party.
Doubtless, he would deny that Oswald Mosley was his youthful hero.
At that time – and no one has ever worked out why – he became fascinated with fascism, and particularly Sir Oswald Mosley the washed up leader of the "Union Movement." His preoccupation came clear when he – for a period of eight weeks – became the chairman of the Cambridge University Conservative Association.

Mosley's British Union Of Fascists was the first political party in Britain in 1949 to call for a European Union.
Represented as a flawed genius, he calls upon his countrymen to sweep away corruption and complacency in order to establish fascism and empire, while being supposedly trapped within his British Union of Fascists by anti-semites and Jew baiters- inevitably played by rogue elements from the lower orders.
The fascist leader is portrayed as an opponent of venal anti-semitism and a promoter of big ideas, while being surrounded by unimaginative politicians and dull opponents who failed to understand him.

Lady Mosley's stubborn fascism and her unrepentant admiration for Hitler -- he and Josef Goebbels were guests at her wedding to Sir Oswald, in Berlin in 1936 -- made her a figure of hate to the British during World War II, and to some extent for the rest of her life.
After the war, she and Sir Oswald, who also served time in Holloway, moved to Orsay, Paris, where they lived happily, and only partly in disgrace, for the rest of their lives.
