Political Goals

The Freedom Front Plus wish to represent the voice of the Afrikaner in all spheres of government. As such, it cannot count on the attraction of large number of votes. Instead, it seeks to produce results for the Afrikaner in the way in which they approach the governing party.

As of September 14, 2007 a merger between the Federal Alliance and FF+ is underway.
