The BNP and the Workers

Now, it strikes me that if the future of Nationalism and the BNP is to truly achieve its potential, it needs to become more community orientated.
The area where the BNP is most under utilised is in making connections within industries and the strong bond with the workers of Britain that connections make. I believe that the Party, once it is reformed, needs to contain a department specifically to garner support amongst Britain’s hard-pressed industrial workers.
I know of the links between the Solidarity Union and the party, but from what I can see this arrangement is wholly inadequate. With the employment of spouses, the leadership of the union being involved in a rival political party, cronyism and general dodgy behavior in its relationship to the current BNP leadership (a leadership in my opinion that has had its day and is leading the BNP to oblivion).
I am not talking about unions in this piece, but a dedicated party department. After all, it is the working man/woman and Britain’s declining industry that should form the lifeblood of the nation. Not solely the financial service sector. A sector that essentially justifies its existance by preying on the people. Look at the mess our reliance on the banks have got us into. The only way to get out of the current financial mess is through real industry.
Nationalism needs to be grassroots and firmly embedded into the communities of Britain.
This hypothetical ’industrial relations department’ that I talk of, could play an invaluable role in spreading the message. Not only bringing in the votes, but also bringing in wealth and jobs into hard-pressed indigenous communities. We Nationalists need to start offering practical solutions. We know the country’s in deep trouble, so what solutions are we to propose? Here are some examples, I hope it highlights my point:
1. Fishing and related industries…..The department would send representatives to places such as Grimsby. We begin to make inroads into the trade by highlighting the Party policy and state “We will bring back Britains traditional fishing grounds and it will be our boats fishing these waters, it will bring jobs and prosperity for your community. It will safeguard your childrens future, BUT we need your support”. We believe never to court globalised businesses, but we could get massive support if we begin to make inroads with independant British firms. Whether that be financial support (afterall it will be these companys that benefit from a Nationalist government) or the formation of Nationalist workers collectives. Our support could become SOLID in these communities. Strongholds even. From top to bottom, from factory worker to company director. From housewife to teenager. Not just community, but VOTES.
2. Coal…..I know that it would be financially expensive to open mines again, but it is in the national interest to at least look at how it could be done. My personal opinion is that firstly cheap coal would be essential for our steel industry, and most importantly, to make synthetic oil. Something that within the coming years could be a HUGE export industry. The trades department as above would go to these areas and highlight we as Nationalists are offering the solutions to your future prosperity. Join us!! Nationalist strongholds could be formed nationwide. Amongst the people that matter. Areas that are dead on their feet could thrive again. There is potential for massive amounts of jobs in the future.
We highlight apprenticeships for voters’ children. Jobs and training. The people need to be encouraged to get involved. Which in turn begins to reforge our traditional national identity and communities. This process and hypothetical department would repeat the process and set up in areas such as agriculture and all its associated trades. There are countless more different industrial areas. We say to the farmers you will be given a fair price for milk at the supermarkets. We take a firm hand with the supermarkets and give the ultimatum: “if you do not tow the line you will no longer trade in Britain”. Point being that we show the workers we are on their side.
This message and these community links with trade and industry will not happen without the party forging these links. It needs a dedicated department. Communities need to be informed, links to the party forged and just like a snowball the Nationalist industrial message grows amongst the people of the country.
I hope I have come across clearly in showing this massively under utilised area of potential growth. What do other forum users think?
