The basic question here (which was not answered) is if the leadership challange from Mr. Tyndall was so slim, was a useless excerise because he would of lost. Why has the leadership used such a desperate measure such as suspension, ending in explusion, if this was the case ?   I tend to draw a comparison between if this had been happening to the National Alliance. Had say the 'populists' in the NA wished to get rid of Dr. Pierce because ordinary people don't identify with him, and do so more with the 'telegenic' Erich Gliebe because he is a younger man.  One thing is for sure, if Dr. Pierce had stood down for Erich Gliebe and the National Alliance started to move away from its 'core values' to attract support, I'm sure Dr. Pierce (just like Mr. Tyndall) would be fighting such a move.  The harrasment I have noticed placed on Mr. Tyndall to 'ease him out' is short of shameful for a movement such as ours. I have also noted that it is the newcomers to our movement who are fine with this treatment of a fine, dedicated nationalist as Mr. Tyndall surly is. It is the newcomers who without the understanding of our 'core values' are the ones wishing Mr. Tyndall's excommunication from the party he founded.  Ordinary people don't identify with him, well ordinary people sure did when he was the leader of the largest nationalist movement in Europe at that time the National Front. A size of membership the British National Party today have yet to match. Lets not forget that this guy was a nazi, is that the image you want for the party? personally I have not seen the evidence of him being suspended so I dont know if its right or wrong at this point.
