THIS IS OUR COUNTRY AND WE WANT IT BACK!

|
|
The National Front's policies and principles
stem from a fundamental belief in the right
of individuals to determine their own future
and the future of their community to the
greatest possible limits. Real political
and economic power has progressively been taken
away from the British people and a
new Class Politique has developed which takes an ever increasing
range of decisions without reference
to the
wishes of the people.
Britain's political system has been
described
as an "elective dictatorship"
with
the government able to push through
a whole
range of policies, claiming a five
year mandate
on the basis of a general election
where
usually only about 30 - 40% of the
voting
population have given one party a parliamentary
majority.
In fact, as far as a whole range of
issues
are concerned, the electorate has been
given
precious little alternative. On issues
such
as European integration, capital punishment,
immigration, international free trade,
Northern
Ireland, etc. there is very little
difference
between the three old parties.
These three parties exercise a stranglehold
over British politics with support
from the
media, large parts of which are actively
hostile to any new radical party of
nationalism.
In Britain and in other European nations
the Class Politique now regards itself as the natural rulers,
able to ignore and reject the views
and wishes
of the majority of the people on the
basis
that "They know best" - such
arrogance
is usually a sign of imminent destruction.

A RADICAL PARTY SEEKING FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES
|
|
|
The National Front is a radical party seeking
deep and fundamental changes in British society.
Unlike many other radical parties, particularly
those of the past, we do not seek to impose
our views on the population. Instead we seek
to empower the people so that they can make
decisions for themselves and then translate those decisions into action
to create their own communities.
For example, while the National Front
has
views on education, our primary aim
is to
give real control of schools, and what
is
taught in them, to local people, particularly
parents. Similarly for industry, we
seek
to give working people a real say in
the
running of larger companies rather
than being
treated as cogs in a machine by absentee
owners. In all political decision making
we seek to give greater power to local
authorities
and to make them truly local by breaking
up very large ones and giving power
to smaller
community councils.
In all matters the aim of the National
Front
is to give real power and real democracy
to the British people. There is a certain
irony that while the National Front
can thus
be seen as probably the most democratic
of
all parties, our enemies call us names
which
imply we are somehow a party of dictatorship.
It is our belief that real political
and
economic power must be given to the
British
people who are the nation's driving
force.
All our political opponents seek to
impose
their views on the British people.
We seek
to remind Britain of its history and
heritage,
to warn of the dangers of creeping
dictatorship,
to liberate our people from poverty
and an
oppressive economic system and to give
our
children a future that is peaceful,
democratic
and prosperous in an environment that
is
clean, green and pleasant. Our opponents
seek to chain the British people in
their
own self-seeking policies - we seek
to break
the existing chains that bind them
and in
many cases doom them to a life of fear,
poverty
and lack of hope. We will replace this
with
justice, prosperity and confidence
in our
future.

A Party of Democracy
|
|
|
The National Front is a party of genuine
democracy which belongs to its members
and
whose policy is determined by its members.
Its governing body is the National
Directorate
which is an elected body and which
elects
from within its ranks a Chairman, Deputy
Chairman and other national party officers.
The policies of the party are determined
by the members at Annual Conferences
and
unlike some other parties, such decisions
are binding upon the party. The same
democratic
principles govern the operation of
all local
party organisations.
The NF seeks to promote in Britain
a genuinely
democratic political system and advocates
a fairer electoral system which includes
an aspect of proportional representation.
In government the NF would like to
see an
increase in the powers of the House
of Commons
Select Committees. The NF can see no
virtue
in the powers granted to hereditary
peers
by accident of birth and consequently
hereditary
peerages would be abolished. It would
however
maintain a second chamber as an advisory
and consultative body.
The National Front upholds the principle
of a constitutional monarchy as this
is clearly
the wish of the overwhelming majority
of
the British people. We believe that
the monarchy
could again become an important symbol
as
a family and of the continuity of the
nation.
The National Front would introduce
a bill
of rights to guarantee certain basic
freedoms.
It would also re-assert the sovereignty
of
Parliament by withdrawing from the
oppressive
European Union. Wherever possible decision-making
would be brought closer to the people
and
as many decisions as possible would
be made
at local rather than national level.
The
amalgamation of small local councils
into
giant boroughs would be reversed so
that
local councils can again be truly responsive
to local needs.
|
|
|
Freedom
|
|
|
For the last thousand years the British people
have fought, and sometimes died, to
preserve
our basic freedoms. The National Front
wholeheartedly
believes that these freedoms must be
maintained.
Consequently the National Front believes
in the introduction of a bill of rights
to
guarantee basic freedoms including:
Equal and free access to justice
Freedom of speech and publication and
distribution
of printed matter
Freedom of access to publicly owned
assembly
facilities
Freedom for orderly demonstrations
in public
The right to vote and stand for election
for public office without onerous
financial or other qualifications
Freedom from abitrary arrest
|
|
|
Foreign Affairs
|
|
|
The National Front supports the right of
self-determination of all nations and
is
therefore opposed to military and economic
imperialism. It also opposes all supra-national
bodies which erode the sovereignty
of nations.
The National Front subscribes to the
form
of nationalism which fosters mutual
respect
between nations without any nation
seeking
to interfere with or dominate another.
The
NF believes each nation, including
Britain,
should be proud of its own history
and traditions
and should respect those of other nations.
Further, each nation has a right to
work
out its own future both economically
and
politically. The NF deplores the doomed
attempt
to impose political, economic multicultural
systems on other nations, often unsuited
to the national character, particularly
carried
out by the Western powers. Equally
the National
Front opposes the destructiveness,
particularly,
of American cultural imperialism.
Nations should be free to determine
their
own political systems, their own economic
systems and to develop their own culture.
THE WHITE NATIONS
Because of a partly shared cultural
heritage
and identity of race, the National
Front
would like to see more sporting and
cultural
contacts between these nations. The
National
Front recognises that each of these
nations
has developed its own identity and
contacts
should be on an equal footing. The
NF believes
that the multiracial Commonwealth is
a farcical
relic of an unfortunate past which
should
be disbanded. The NF would in any case
withdraw
Britain from this organisation. Consequently
the National Front cannot condone the
idea
of the British monarch being head of
state
of other foreign nations.
EUROPE
The National Front supports the right
of
self-determination for all European
nations
and demands that right for Britain.
It seeks
a Europe where each nation is friendly
to
all others but where no nation seeks
to dominate
or interfere in the affairs of another.
Consequently
the NF would withdraw Britain from
the European
Union.
The NF would encourage the development
of
cultural and sporting links between
other
European nations. It would encourage
the
cultural diversity between the nations
of
Europe and resist attempts to eliminate
this.
It totally opposes the monetary and
political
merging of the separate nations into
a super-state.
|
|
|
Law and Order
|
|
|
The first duty of any government is to protect
its citizens. In this respect successive
Labour and Conservative governments
would
have to be adjudged as failures. Crime,
particularly
violent crime, has risen virtually
every
year for the past thirty years. The
National
Front would introduce a range of measures
to restore the rule of law and order
and
to protect our people.
The first priority is for teachers
and other
youth leaders to take a lead in educating
our children to uphold the law. They
should
also be taught the dangers of drugs,
and
of the reckless intake of alcohol which
is
so often a contibutory factor in crime.
The
National Front accepts that it is probably
impossible to stamp out crime totally
no
matter how successfully it can be reduced,
therefore the NF would help in a number
of
ways:-
Local councils would be encouraged
to fit
security devices to all council houses
Old Age Pensioners would be helped
to make
their homes secure and would also be
provided
with personal alarms
Neighbourhood watch schemes would be
encouraged
and extended
Despite assurances to the contrary,
the NF
believes that in some inner city districts
No-Go Areas do exist for the police.
Far
from withdrawing from such areas the
NF would
insist on a high level of policing
to combat
crime and protect individuals.
Where the law is broken the National
Front
believes that there must be a larger
element
of punishment within the sentencing
system.
In the case of perpetrators of some
violent
crimes we would introduce birching
in addition
to other sentences.
For crimes of extreme violence such
as aggravated
rape, murder and terrorist offences,
the
NF would introduce the death penalty.
|
|
|
The
Economy
|
|
|
The British economy has been in a state of
decline relative to other industrialised
nations for at least the last three
decades.
This is not a result of a lack of British
inventiveness nor of a willingness
to work.
It is largely because of inept political
leadership and an economic system that
benefits
other nations before Britain.
The National Front would introduce
a radical
package of measures based on the principles
of economic nationalism to restore
Britain's
prosperity. These would include the
restriction
of foreign imports so that the goods
in our
shops are made in Britain by British
workers.
The wealth created by British workers
would
be invested in the future of this country
and not sent abroad: speculation via
the
Stock Exchange would be eliminated
and British
people encouraged to take direct ownership
of their place of work; exchange controls
would be re-introduced; weighty taxation
would be reduced by savings in government
expenditure, particularly in regard
to foreign
aid, payments to Europe and in propping
up
a burgeoning race relations industry.

Defence
|
|
|
The protection of the British people at home
and throughout the world is the responsibility
of the government. It is for this purpose
(and this purpose alone) that we require
our armed forces, which have such a
proud
record in defending our nation. No
British
politician wants a war but it is a
sad fact
that Britain must always be prepared
for
a whole range of eventualities including
the less likely ones. This is particularly
true when the Middle East is in a period
of change and uncertainty.
There is no realistic defence without
a basic
defence strategy. The National Front's
defence
strategy is that Britain must maintain
a
defence capability able to inflict
massive
damage on any other countries in the
world
should they act as an aggressor. The
only
other requirement is the ability of
our forces
to defeat any internal terrorist threat.
The equipment with which our forces
are armed
must be designed and built in the UK
and
must remain solely under the control
of this
country.
The National Front totally opposes
the use
of British troops by the United Nations
to
carry out their political adventures.
It
also opposes any attempt to form a
European
army under foreign control and will
withdraw
Britain from NATO.
|

|
Race and Immigration
|
|
|
The National Front believes that the world
contains a rich diversity of races
and consequent
cultures. We believe in the preservation
of these races. As each race has evolved
it has developed its own social structures,
its own customs and its own culture.
These
are different for each race and have
been
built up to suit the character of each
separate
race.
In the case of Britain the National
Front
upholds the wish of the majority of
British
people for Britain to remain a white
country,
with customs and a culture which have
been
developed to suit our character. Consequently
the National Front would halt all non-white
immigration into Britain and introduce
a
policy of phased and humane repatriation
of all coloured people currently resident
here. Such a policy would be expected
to
extend over 10-15 years and its completion
would thus depend on the recurrent
election
of successive NF governments.
The National Front believes that this
is
the only way to halt the steadily rising
racial tension and violence that is
becoming
part of everyday life in modern Britain.
In regards to white immigration, this
would
only be allowed where there are particular
reasons such as the possession of particular
skills or in the case of political
refugees.
Until the problem of unemployment is
solved,
the NF would seek to keep such immigration
to a minimum.
|
|
|
The Family
|
|
|
The National Front regards the family as
the ideal social unit. All the available
evidence suggests that a happy family
is
the ideal environment in which children
can
grow and develop. Over the past twenty
years
there has been a marked decline in
this type
of arrangement. The National Front
accepts
that there is no simple solution to
this
problem and that the situation today
has
arisen as a result of a combination
of factors.
However, the NF regards a number of
government
decisions as having unnecessarily made
the
situation worse. These include the
lowering
of the real value of family allowances
and
the introduction of the poll tax and
then
the council tax.
The National Front would take a number
of
steps to provide support for the concept
of the family unit. Financial measures
would
include the raising of family allowances
and the universal provision of free
school
meals. Other types of support would
include
the insistence that all families with
children
under the age of 14 should have the
choice
of council accommodation in houses
with gardens.
The NF would also strongly encourage
a change
in the attitude of educators and those
working
in the media to stop the denigration
of the
family unit that has become increasingly
prevalent.
The National Front believes absolutely
in
the equal right of boys and girls to
study
for and pursue a profession. However,
there
would appear to be steadily increasing
pressure
on girls to follow a profession rather
to
to have and rear children - which the
NF
regards as at least equally (if not
more)
fulfilling. There is a similar pressure
on
boys to aggressively pusue a career
rather
than to put marriage and family first.
Of
course these are not mutually exclusive
and
the NF believes in the widespread availability
of services such as creche facilities.
The modern-day trend of having an abortion
to fulfil one's career would be ended
under
a National Front government - The lives
of
the unborn child, the most innocent
and vulnerable
form of human life will be protected
at all
cost. The 1967 Abortion Act is a crime
against
humanity and abortion will be outlawed
in
all but the most extreme cases.
The National Front does not regard
homosexual
or lesbian relationships as valid alternatives
to normal heterosexual marriage. The
NF would
repeal the laws permitting homosexuality
and its promotion.
|
|
|
Education
|
|
|
For the last 40 years Britain's education
system has been at the mercy of changeable
government policy. Each successive
government
has sought to impose its ideas right
across
the nation in towns, cities and rural
communities.
The National Front would give far greater
control to local people - the local
education
authority, parents and teachers. While
setting
out broad parameters we would encourage
decisions
to be made at local level. The National
Front
would however seek to introduce a process
in such local decision making which
avoids
wide fluctuations as sometimes happens
when
Labour replace Tories on a local authority
(or vice versa).
The National Front believes that parents
should have the right to send their
children
to schools outside the state system,
however
we would change the current system
to make
such schools available to all.
The NF agrees with the idea of a basic
core
curriculum however this should be kept
to
a 'core' only. The National Front believes
that some teachers have let down the
system
and in order to raise the quality of
teachers
the NF would insist that all teachers
spend
at least two years outside the educational
system thus avoiding the school - college - school modus operandi. This would also result in
teachers' salaries having to be sufficient
to entice them away from other areas.
The National Front would act decisively
to
reverse the recent trend away from
competitive
school sports and would seek to expand
the
range of such activities so as to accommodate
all tastes.
|
|
|
The Media
|
|
|
The National Front believes that there should
be the widest possible diversity of
newspapers,
television programmes, films, etc.
available
to the British people. In the case
of providing
information and educative items a dominant
British input is essential if Britons
are
to make proper judgements on matters
of national
interest. Consequently, the NF deplores
the
multiple ownership of media businesses,
particularly
by non-British individuals.
The National Front would act to prevent
this,
for example, in the case of newspapers,
there
would be a one-company-one-title rule
to
prevent the build up of media empires.
The
same would apply to television and
radio
stations.
The NF would like to see an expansion
of
British film and television production
and
would introduce a punitive tariff on
imported
items. One area where this would have
a dramatic
effect would be on the showing of vast
amounts
of foreign (mainly American) sport.
Instead,
television companies would be forced
to cover
a much wider range of British sport.
The NF believes that the current rules
about
obscenity, violence and bad language
are
farcical. Television is a medium which
brings
itself into the family home. Its programmes
should conform to the same standards
of an
invited guest when children are present.
The National Front would strengthen
the laws
to protect individuals' privacy. The
NF believes
it is perfectly possible to devise
rules
which in no way inhibit the right and
proper
role of a newspaper to expose abuses
of power
or corruption while at the same time
affording
people, excluding people in the public
eye
such as the Royal Family, a much higher
level
of privacy.
|
|
|
The Environment
|
|
|
The National Front has a proud record of
campaigning for the environment. It
was calling
for higher investment in our rail network,
for much tighter controls on the use
of chemicals
on our land and for a cleaner river
system,
all before the Green Party even existed.
The NF would enact legislation to protect
all our existing green areas and would
also
seek to expand their size and number,
particularly
in the cities. In rural areas the NF
would
act to rejuvenate agricultural and
village
life and improve public transport in
such
areas. This would also increase public
access
to some of the less visited rural areas.
In the cities the National Front would
place
restrictions on the expansion of office
space
and would act to encourage people to
live
in our inner cities partly by making
them
more attractive places. The National
Front
would seek to restrict the use of energy
and would explore alternative energy
sources.
|
|
|
Northern Ireland
|
|
|
The National Front recognises that Northern
Ireland is part of the United Kingdom
and
will be for all time. A National Front
government
would integrate Ulster into the rest
of the
UK. Any attack on Ulster and its people
would
be seen as an attack on the people
of Britain
as a whole. IRA supporters would be
removed
from the UK and the border with the
Irish
Republic would be sealed - all persons
living
in Ulster will be required to swear
an oath
of allegience to the UK or revert to
the
status of a foreign national. The Irish
Republic
will be treated as any other nation
such
as France or Holland.
|
|
|
The Health Service
|
|
|
The National Front would provide an entirely
free National Health Service and this
would
include the abolition of prescription
charges.
When people fall ill they are likely
to be
losing money in any case and we can
see no
justification in prescription charges.
However,
checks on doctors' prescriptions would
be
made to make sure the Health Service
is not
wasting money.
Whilst the NF expects all parts of
the NHS
to use money efficiently and carefully,
a
National Front government would make
available
sufficient funds to eliminate all waiting
lists for medically needed operations
and
treatments. This will take priority
over
other items of expenditure.
The National Front believes that the
NHS
should be made available to all foreign
visitors
who fall ill during their stay, however
this
system is being abused by people who
arrive
in this country fully aware of an existing
health condition - this would be stopped.
The NF is opposed to abortion on principle
and would only sanction one where a
mother
has conceived as a result of rape,
where
medical opinion asserts that there
is a genuine
and serious danger to the health or
life
of the mother if the pregnancy is allowed
to continue, or where medical opinion
asserts
that the foetus is seriously damaged
or malformed.
All such abortions are dependent on
the mother's
consent. Under a National Front government
the days of abortion being used as
a form
of post-coital contraception will end.
|
|
|
The Nation's Art
|
|
|
The National Front would continue to subsidise
the arts in the interests of the nation.
It would seek to preserve the art treasures
of the nation for public enjoyment.
The NF
would encourage education in the arts
and
remove all financial restrictions.
Entry
charges to museums would also be abolished.
In all major new buildings for the
public
or private sector the NF would demand
higher
levels of architectural merit. The
National
Front particularly believes in fostering
local arts and cultures and would especially
act to save the various traditional
British
languages.

IF YOU AGREE WITH WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY THEN
