By Andrew Brons.

I have heard of many members who were disappointed by the incumbent Chairman’s (very narrow) victory in the leadership election. Some of these have expressed a desire to leave the Party and some to establish a new replacement party.

I must implore them to remain members of the British National Party.

Firstly, I pledged, during the campaign, to remain with the Party and so could not leave voluntarily, even if I wished to do so.

Secondly, there is no party to which one could credibly defect. The only parties out there are either tiny or civic or both. The future of our Nation depends for the foreseeable future to be in the hands of our Party.

Establishing a new party would be an immense task that could be contemplated only if the leadership were to carry out a mass cull of the membership or if the Party disappeared to nothing. If members allow their memberships to lapse and drop out in ones and twos they will be lost forever.

Even those who see the current leader as being beyond redemption should remain within the Party.

If you do not want to distribute EU referendum literature with our Chairman’s name and face on, you can always distribute equivalent literature bearing my name.

If you do not want to distribute mine either, you can always stay at home and enjoy a good book!

Our dissatisfied members must also remember that the current Chairman faces the same financial and legal challenges that he did before this campaign started.

Many of these were denied during the campaign but those denials did not (alas) make them disappear.

I take no pleasure in reminding you that these challenges could make his position untenable. Only your continued membership could prevent somebody from succeeding him whom you would regard as even less suitable for the job.

When we take big political decisions, it is not sufficient to ask oneself: “Which decision would make me feel most satisfied? Break up my membership card!”

We must ask ourselves what that would achieve and whether or not we wanted to achieve the expected outcome.

Please stay with the Party. If the leadership wants peace, he can have peace and we can get on with work that will contribute towards our substantive aims.

If on the other hand he were to choose war, he would meet an equal and opposite force.

I am confident that he will choose the former, despite being urged to choose the latter by his most favoured adviser. However, even choosing peace will not allow him to escape the legal and financial challenges that face him.

Please trust me and stay with the Party.
