Abstract
The National Front (NF) was formed during a series of negotiations in the winter of 1966–7 between the leaders of three small parties and pressure groups: the League of Empire Loyalists, the British National Party, and the Racial Preservation Scoiety. In the following year it absorbed into its thin ranks another party, the Greater Britain Movement. The NF came into official being on 7 February 1967, and it claimed 2500 members. On paper, this was a reasonable figure. In fact, active (and subscribing) members were fewer than 1200.
