The far right political party Britain First has told its supporters to vote Ukip and help deliver 'major gains ' at the general election . In his party 's newsletter , group leader Paul Golding said he would 'strongly urge our supporters to vote for UKIP as they have the best chance of making breakthroughs at the ballot box . ' The endorsement from the extreme right group will come as an embarrassing blow to Nigel Farage who has been attempting to distance himself from the far right . Britain First leader Paul Golding has urged his supporters to back Ukip in the election and predicts that 2015 will be 'the year of Britain First and Ukip ' Mr Golding said that he believed the election could trigger a swing to the right in British politics . 'Whatever happens in May , between UKIP and Britain First , this year could herald a resurgence of patriotic politics in Britain , ' he added . But a Ukip spokesman told the Independent it was farcical that Britain First was supporting them . 'We 're just not where they think we are , ' he said . 'On the fringes of our politics are nutters and we do n't want them anywhere near us . ' Britain First has become renowned for its invasions on mosques and campaign against the alleged 'Islamification ' of Britain . But Nigel Farage has previously attempted to distance himself from Britain First and other far rights parties across Europe . The party has told its supporters to ignore Ukip 's attempts to distance themselves and said the party must play the 'political game . ' In literature seen by the Independent , the party said its controversial activities 'in the Muslim ghettoes ' will combine with 'major Ukip gains ' to turn the election into a 'game changer ' . Leaflets signed by Mr Golding predicted that 2015 would be 'the year of Britain First and Ukip ' after the election . The election tactics echo those used for the Rochester by-election last year , when the party distributed leaflets which proclaimed : 'Ukip at the ballot box , Britain First on the streets – a winning combination . ' The election went onto be won by former Conservative MP Mark Reckless , who defected to Ukip . Britain First was founded by former British National Party member Jim Dowson in 2011 . It hit the headlines after invading mosques in Glasgow , Bradford , Luton and London with Bibles offered to Muslim worshippers . They were also seen driving military armoured cars up and down Brick Lane to no apparent purpose . Britain First 's tactics , pictured here disrupting a Unite Against Fascism ( UAF ) anti-racism protest , have come under criticism in the past . Last year the group conducted 'Christian patrols ' in parts of East London which the group claimed were a direct response to similar Muslim groups who , they said , wanted Sharia Law enforced in some boroughs . Britain First activists were seen outside mosques holding banners announcing : 'We are the British resistance . ' The party , which received 20,000 votes in last year 's European elections , wants 'assisted repatriation ' , a halt to further immigration , and the deportation of all asylum seekers . It also wants all foreign criminals to be deported without recourse to the law courts .
Britain party has urged its supporters to get behind Ukip in the coming election . Leader Paul Golding announced 2015 will be ' the year of Britain First and Ukip ' He also hoped the election could see a swing to the right for British politics . Nigel ##ing has previously attempted to distance himself from the party .
