International Third Position (ITP) was a neo-fascist organization formed by the breakaway faction of the neofascist British National Front and Italian neofascists^[1] lead by Roberto Fiore.^[2]

ITP ideology is a mix of leftist and rightist ideas—e.g., environmentalism, wealth redistribution—with a racist agenda identifying the Jews, the blacks and the immigrants as the prime enemies.^[1]

Initially the ITP distanced itself from traditional Fascism and Nazism, promoting 'racial separatism' rather than crude racism. The International Third Position operated more as an elite cadre than a mass movement.

Though a key formulator of the Third Positionist platform, Nick Griffin left in 1990.^[2] After about 4 years he joined the British National Party (BNP), where he later succeeded the BNP founder John Tyndall.

Troy Southgate, as well as the majority of ITP supporters, split from the organisation in September 1992 after accusing Roberto Fiore and Derek Holland of ideological hypocrisy and swindling members out of their life savings to prop up the group's failed rural experiment in northern France. This included the departure of several local ITP publications, including The Kent Crusader,^{[citation needed]} Surrey Action, and Eastern Legion. Southgate then founded the English Nationalist Movement (ENM) and during this time edited magazines like The Crusader and The English Alternative. The ENM had strong units in the Burnley, Bradford and south-east Kent areas^{[citation needed]}.

The ITP changed its name to England First in 2001 and has since become a part of the European National Front with the Spanish Falange, Italian Forza Nuova, Romanian Noua Dreaptă, Polish National Rebirth of Poland and others.

The most recent ITP/ENF gathering in central London in April 2005 drew 150 supporters. Overall membership is estimated by Searchlight magazine to be somewhat lower than this, although the ITP maintains a relatively strong publishing presence as well as its network of international contacts. The modern party is much less critical of Islam than the rest of the British far-right, and claims that the campaign against Islam is mostly driven by Jewish interests. The party remains strongly anti-Semitic.^[2]

Publications supporting the ITP in the UK are Final Conflict, The Voice of St George and Candour (which was previously published by A. K. Chesterton and is the longest running far right publication in Britain).
