“We voice our
concerns!”
Total lack of financial
oversight by members
Unpreparedness for General
Election
Lack of understanding by
new members of nationalist policies.
Below is our original Statement.

The Reform Group of the British National Party
came into being because many members, particularly established members, were
concerned by the way the Party was run.
The current leader, Nick Griffin has, and the founder leader, John
Tyndall had, enormous talent in some directions but it seems none in
others. This has meant the Party has
not been developed in a balanced manner.
Reform Group members do not believe the propaganda put out in the Party
literature that the Party is doing well.
In particular, we mention the large number of activists who are leaving
the Party and being replaced by inexperienced people. These new people have
little idea of our policies and the enormous pressure that can be put on
activists by the State.
The Reform Group makes the
following points which contrast with the official party doctrine:
1. We believe the
Party should have a Constitution and structure that is normal for an
association. This would mean that the
principal party officials would be elected and that there would be Annual
General Meetings when all members could propose resolutions and vote. In particular, the Treasurer would be
elected by the members and the Auditor would report to the members. There would be an end to the current
‘dictatorship’ whereby the Party Chairman appoints all officials of the
Party.
2. We believe
that the Party should not waste resources on fighting Euro-elections. If we won seats in these elections, the MEPs
would have no power. We believe that
the purpose of the BNP is to gain power.
It is MPs at Westminster that have the power to make laws. All our resources should be used to gain
MPs.
3. We believe
that the Party should be organised as strong, semi-autonomous, local
constituency associations responsible for their own funds.
4. We believe
that we should make every effort to unite the various nationalist parties and
encourage members who have left the BNP to rejoin. (It should be noted that the main reason for the existence of the
various parties is the fact that many people could not work with John Tyndall
and now with Nick Griffin. There are
not great differences in policy between the groups. A new Party Chairman is required that has a rounded personality
and the ability to get on with all members.)
The
Reform Group mounted a Leadership Challenge in 2007. Stood aside to allow another group to stand in 2008. It is proposed that a strong challenge will
be made in 2009. See Archive for
