The United Country Party was a minor political party in the United Kingdom during the late 1970s. The Party was among those against immigration, inflation and the excesses of the 'Winter of Discontent', claiming to represent 'people with common sense'. The party was formed by Edmund Iremonger, a member of the Conservative Party and The Freedom Association; noted amateur astronomer and television personality, nearby resident, Patrick Moore was party chairman. It was absorbed by the New Britain Party in 1980.
