The Nationalist Alliance was a far right movement in British politics, that aims to serve as an umbrella group for the various White nationalist groups in Britain. The party was registered with the Electoral Commission in 2005, although its registration has since lapsed.
The NA sought to build a closer alliance with other groups on the far right working outside the BNP and sought to negotiate a merger with the Freedom Party, although the proposed merger did not come to pass as Adrian Davies was reluctant to join up with some of the more extremist elements of the NA. Seeking to further their ties with other activists, the party held a meeting attended by members of the White Nationalist Party and National Front at Rawdon Conservative Club on 10 September 2005 as a memorial to John Tyndall, where they were addressed by Tyndall supporter and BNP member Richard Edmonds, NA party leader and ex-leader of the WNP Eddy Morrison, and John Wood, formerly a senior member of the WNP. The meeting was attacked, with windows being smashed.
Although the meeting at Rawdon demonstrated the support that the NA was building up amongst far right activists, it also helped to bring about the group's destruction. A photograph of the membership at the meeting appeared in Searchlight, leading to accusations being made about who was to blame for its appearance. Along with the failure of the Freedom Party initiative and general ideological clashes the unity within the NA did not last and in September 2005 Morrison, Wood and Watmough split to form the British Peoples Party.
The split led to recriminations across the far right, with Morrison attacked by Martin Webster, with whom Morrison was in dispute over which of them was the political heir of the late John Tyndall, with Webster accusing Morrison in his web bulletin of using the NA simply to swindle the members out of their money, a charge Morrison denied.
