11. To strive towards ever higher forms of human life by the persistent energy of the creative manhood of Europe.
12. To unite statesmanship and science in a new civilisation.”
This poster was produced in the late 1940s, and produced to show the public the 12 points/ beliefs of the new founded party.
The Union Movement (UM) was a far-right political party founded in the United Kingdom by Oswald Mosley. Before the Second World War, Mosley's British Union of Fascists (BUF) had wanted to concentrate trade within the British Empire, but the Union Movement attempted to stress the importance of developing a European nationalism, rather than a narrower country-based nationalism. That has caused the UM to be characterised as an attempt by Mosley to start again in his political life by embracing more democratic and international policies than those with which he had previously been associated.
This is in excellent condition and comes with a glass fronted frame, the poster isn’t stuck down and can be removed if wanted.
