THE NEED TO RESTRUCTURE
The resolution below was passed at the Annual General Meeting of the
National Front, held in Leicestershire in February 2000 on the pressing
and urgent need for radical changes in the set-up and organisation of the
party. The proposer Eddy Morrison, seconded by the Northern England Organiser,
laid down the basic guidelines for a vertically structured Movement as
well as the need to divide the United Kingdom into administrative areas.
The need for two basic sections to the party - one political and one administrative
- was also outlined.
We feel that the reasons why the NF needs a very thorough reorganisation
is mainly due to its increasing growth and success in the areas of both
recruitment and publicity. The NF is again growing fast and with constant
activities, marches and demonstrations, the need for a streamlined, smooth
and efficient organisational machine is greater than ever!
The NF is on the path to fast becoming THE premier White Nationalist Movement in Britain [pressure-valves like the BNP can blow their own trumpet as much as they want, they are NOT WHITE Nationalists] . In the 70's and 80's, shaky organisation and administration hindered the grass roots development of the Party. When the hard times came in the early '80s, there was no solid organisation in place to hold the membership together, and although this wasn't the only reason for our fall back, it certainly contributed to it. Current estimates are that between 1970 and 1980, over 60,000 people passed through the ranks of the NF! Where are they now? Most of them would rally back to us, together with the new, younger generations of White Nationalists - but ONLY if we show them we are true political and administrative professionals.
PROPOSALS FOR THE ORGANISATIONAL
RESTRUCTURING OF THE NATIONAL FRONT
PROPOSED REGIONS OF THE NF
Although the NF has a loose regional structure, this needs to be put
on a firm geographical and structural framework. The Regions proposed are
as follows, each led by a Regional Leader:
South West England (Covering Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Avon,
Wiltshire)
South East England (Hampshire, Isle of Wight, West Sussex, East Sussex,
Kent, Surrey, Berkshire)
Greater London, East England (Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire,
Bedfordshire, Essex)
Anglia (Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Norfolk)
West Midlands (Gloucestershire, Hereford & Worcester, Warwickshire,
Staffordshire, Shropshire)
East Midlands (Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire)
Wales
North West (Cheshire, Merseyside, Lancashire, Cumbria, Isle of Man)
Yorkshire
North East (Cleveland, Durham, Tyne & Wear, Northumberland)
Scotland
Ulster
This gives us thirteen regions, led by a Regional Leader and each eventually
with its own Regional
Structure - directly responsible to the National/Central Headquarters
of the NF.
ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE
The proposition is as follows: The Regions are then subdivided under
counties, each under the
control of a County Leader. In the case of Greater London, the suggestion
is for London to be divided into four parts - each with the equivalent
of a County Leader running them. The sub organisation under County, where
a county is big enough would be Area - again each under a relevant Area
Leader. For example, the Region of Yorkshire, as the biggest county is
Yorkshire, would not have a County Leader, but naturally subdivides into
three areas - West. East and North Ridings - each run by an Area Leader.
Below Area, would be Districts - headed by District Leaders, thus Birmingham,
Manchester/Leeds
and other big conurbations including major London Boroughs would have
District Organisations. At
the basic level would be the NF Unit. Again as an example, Liverpool
District NF (part of the North
West Region and the Merseyside Area NF) - would have its separate Units,
under Unit leaders. This
may seem complex at first - but breaks down into Region, County. Area,
District and Unit.
POLITICAL ORGANISATION
We are attempting here to make the distinction between the POLITICAL
ORGANISATION of the NF
and the ADMINISTRATIVE ORGANISATION of the NF. Let us first deal with
our definition of the
political organisation and why we need a twin system. Political tasks
would be those involving ac-
tivities, demos, marches, recruitment and propaganda drives. The Political
Organisation (PO) would
be essentially the "on the streets" side of the NF. The Leaders at
all levels as described in OR-
GANISATIONAL STRUCTURE would be the core element of the PO. Directives
from HQ, or from
levels further down could be easily passed in both directions as everybody
would be clearly aware of demarcation lines of duty and responsibility.
The electoral area too would come under the PO.
Election campaigns would be the sole prerogative of the PO at the relevant
level. It is suggested that
a National Political Organiser be appointed with a Political Executive
covering areas such as Ac-
tivities, Propaganda, Elections, Press and Media, Recruitment, New
Unit Development, Party Af-
filiate Organisations and External Security.
ADMINISTRATIVE ORGANISATION
The Administrative Organisation (AO) would be headed by a National
Administration Organiser,
helped by an Executive covering Finance, Membership, Enquiries, Literature
distribution to NF
bodies, Membership Bulletins, Fund Raising, National Secretary, Internal
Security, Theory and
Policy, Book Service, Internet Development, Media Monitoring, Opposition
Monitoring Section and
Database, Business Manager, Marketing. The main function oftheAO is
to give daily back up to the
PO, and shoulder the burden for the day to day running of the "business
side" of the NF. The AO
would liase with NF Regional, County, Area, District and Unit Secretaries
who would be the rep-
resentatives of the AO at ground level.
AFFILIATE ORGANISATIONS
These would come under the PO and suggested ones are:
Young National Front
Women's Front
Friends of the National Front
NF Ex-Servicemen
NF Overseas Organisation
AFFILIATES:
Rock Against the Reds (NF controlled music section)
NF Student Front
NF Trades Union Organisation
Other possible affiliates could be such things as Farmer's Front, Mainland
Loyalist Front. Front
organisations covering other trade/professional bodies etc.
PROPAGANDA AND PUBLICITY
The propaganda/publicity side - sometimes termed "agitprop" - would
normally fall under the PO's
wing. The stress here to be brief is that our main propaganda drive
should be phased as follows:
Marches and demonstrations to give high profile "We are back" emphasis,
and show the British
people and the reds that the NF is a growing force to be reckoned with.
The selective involvement in elections, especially local council and
by-elections for publicity pur-
poses, but only when a decent ground campaign can be mounted. No more
"paper campaigns" that
bring derisory results and demoralise members and supporters. As the
NF grows, bigger marches and open air meetings as the main focus of our
headline grabbing. The reformation of the drum corps, flag party, stewarding
corps, and the mass production of placards for any and all occasions.
The production of a MONTHLY tabloid paper - "The Flame" - with distribution
on the widest scale possible - with an eye to a future fortnightly paper.
A wide selection of leaflets/posters/stickers etc - standard leaflets
supplemented by "instant response" propaganda.
PRESENCE ON THE INTERNET
We already have a growing presence on the .net with our main website
on www.natfront.com. This
needs to be constantly updated and expanded - but is going in the right
direction. What is envisaged
is an expansion eventually to a separate website, apart from the National
one for each region giving
thirteen sites in ail. Eventually all sites with be hot linked, and
also have links pages to other like
minded Aryan groups around the world. With all Regions and key activists
eventually being linked up
- one e-mail can provide instant communication on say, a national activity
to all. We already have and
are also expanding our fortnightly e-zine WHITE NATIONALIST REPORT
which has been going out
regularly since August 1999. This is hitting around 1500 people per
issue and continues to grow.
Control and supervision of our web growth would come under the AO side
of the NF.
FINANCIAL PROPOSALS
Everybody recognises as the key to carrying out most of the above stated
intentions/We need a
regular income and regularly paid, full time staff. It is proposed
that this comes initially from the
following areas:
Friends of the Front - supporters who pay £20 per month into Party
HQ
Increased number of membership subscriptions as membership increases.
The end to the practice
of Units holding back half of their new members subs - local cash should
be raised by other methods.
A national monthly draw - lottery style with a decent cash prize. Units
to keep part of the ticket money sold.
The creation of a Marketing department to supplement our Book Distribution
service to sell badges,
T-shirts, mugs, posters, plaques, CD's and a host of other NF related
material.
The first acquisition when increased levels of finance are achieved
should be one or two FULL TIME
staff. This is of vital importance, as is eventually a National HQ
building. Other suggestions for raising
finance can be input into these proposals.
BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF MEMBERSHIP AND GRADING
It is proposed that we have three tiers of membership:
Full Members who pay £15 per year and have the full rights of
voting/appointment to Party office and are the only ones allowed at the
Annual General Meeting and at Directorate Meetings (if Directorate members).
Associate Members - who pay £10 per year and are accepted members
apart from they have no voting rights nor can they occupy a position of
authority.
Official Supporters - People who pay £5 per year straight. We
are looking here at people reluctant to join but who may do eventually
though at first becoming official supporters, Twice a year they receive
a special "Official Supporter's Bulletin".
Separate application forms for the three grades should be introduced
with the accent on being extra
info/security aspects on the Full Member's form. A bit less on the
Associate form. and basic details on the Official Supporter's form.
SUMMARY
All this seems a lot to swallow at once we can appreciate. We know
there may be objections as some of the ideas here are radical - but they
are also VITAL! Time is the important factor with reforms being introduced
as funds and personnel become available. However it is vital that we study
these reform proposals and accept them with whatever amendments others
may wish to input and agreed eventually by the Directorate as a blueprint
for our near future organisation. We are gaining members and publicity
all the time, but, without a solid, professional, streamlined and efficient
organisation , we could loose these advantages just as quickly. The NF
is growing - the internal organisation must be ready to grow with it and
guide to until eventually we have a well oiled machine that will give us
victory.
