Andrew Brons (born June 3, 1947) is a college lecturer and a veteran of far right, white nationalist politics in Britain. He was elected as a Member of the European Parliament for Yorkshire and the Humber at the 2009 elections.Early activity .
He began his political career as an alleged member of the National Socialist Movement until he was seventeen, then joined John Bean's British National Party (not to be confused with the party of the same name formed in 1982) which merged with the League of Empire Loyalists to form the National Front (NF) in 1967. He contested Harrogate for the NF in both 1974 general elections, polling 1186 votes (2.3%) in February and 1030 (2.3%) in October. As NF candidate in the Birmingham Stechford by-election of 31 March 1977[3] he forced the Liberal candidate into fourth place, helping his stature to grow within the NF.
NF leadership
Following the poor showing by the NF in the 1979 General Election, Brons was chosen to lead the NF and in doing so broke with his former mentor John Tyndall. Brons would go on to lead the NF in name only from then on. Initially Martin Webster, who became National Activities Organiser, exerted the most influence before the Political Soldier wing of the party became more important. Brons tended to support the Flag Group although he lost influence to Ian Anderson and faded from his leading position. Nevertheless, Brons had links to the Political Soldier wing and he is credited with having introduced the concept of distributism, which formed a central part of the new ideology of the NF, into the party.
