  • Newham S 1974 by election, see below
  • General election, 11 June 1987

    In the late 1980s, the NF split into the Flag Group and the Official National Front. The latter stood no candidates whereas the former only stood one in Bristol East as an 'Independent NF'.

    General election, 6 May 2010

    Although the NF had planned to stand 25 candidates, in the event it fielded only 17. The NF did not compete in Northern Ireland and instead encouraged supporters there to support the Traditional Unionist Voice.

    Scottish Parliament

    In UK parliamentary elections, the NF has only ever contested 3 constituencies: Glasgow Govan (October 1974), Glasgow Pollok (1979) and the 1980 Glasgow Central by-election.

    The NF stood for the first time ever in the 2011 Scottish Parliamentary elections by fielding 6 candidates - 1 for the North East region and 5 (3 of whom stood for the North East region too) for the constituencies. It failed to save any deposits or win any seats and achieved between 0.8% and 1.6% of the vote in the constituencies it contested (0.08% of the nationwide vote).

    European Parliament elections

    The National Front stood in the 1989 and 1994 European elections but has not stood in European elections since as it feels that standing in them is endorsing them.
