List of Distributist parties in the UK:

  • National Distributist Party
  • British National Party
  • National Front

Hmmm, maybe the Catholic part isn't the only part worth reviewing.

Also worth noting that the Conservative Party's 'Big Society' schtick in 2010 was wrapped in the trappings of distributism.

Not that all this diminishes it entirely but it does seem to be an entry drug for exploitation by the right.

I gotta hold my hand up and state that I am not read up on it at all, so happy to be corrected. But my impression is that Pope Leo XIII's conception was to reduce secular power so as to leave a void for the church to fill. And it's the potential exploitation of that void that attracts the far right too.

Well, it is a right ideology. It can be that, of course.
