Mosley, a former Labour MP, had left Labour after proposing comparatively radical response to the unemployment problem in 1930. He created the very short-lived "New Party", before his newly-confirmed devotion to fascism led him to wrap up the New Party and form the BUF in 1932. While initially quite successful in local elections, it never stood in a general election; it lost much of its funding before the 1935 election, and urged its voters to stay home, anticipating "fascism next time." However, World War II prevented the 1940 general election, and by 1945, the next election, the war was over and fascism was discredited. In any event, the Union was condemned as an enemy of the state and was banned by the authorities in 1940.
