The party's inaugural president was Andrew Brons, then a Member of the European Parliament (MEP).[2] Brons had been a member of the BNP and a leading member of the National Front (NF). The steering committee included a number of others with a history of membership in fascist and neo-Nazi groups,[3] who believed that the BNP had been corrupted and watered-down.[2]
