The Revolutionary Conservative Caucus was a pressure group founded that attempted to introduce the ideas of the French New Right into the British Conservative Party.
It was founded in 1992 after the disintegration of Western Goals (UK). It was mainly composed of former members of the "Authoritarian" faction of the Federation of Conservative Students and members of the Monday Club. Former key members of the National Front's executive soon became involved, Tom Acton, Steve Brady and Mark Cotterill.
It met limited success, taking over a ward committee of the Conservative Party before being proscribed by Conservative Central Office. Although disbanded it played a crucial part in right wing politics in Britain, forging links with the French Front National and bringing together many people who have subsequently pushed Euronationalist ideas in such groups as Right Now!, the Conservative Democratic Alliance, the Bloomsbury Forum and the Freedom Party.
The majority of the Conservative Party took this as a lesson that Britain was nothing without America, but a small minority stuck to the view of Enoch Powell – and concluded that America was simply not to be trusted.
Libertarian faction of the Federation of Conservative Students.
The RevolutionaryConservativeCaucus was a group that although it had its roots in the Monday Club, was radically different from it.
The Conservative Democratic Alliance is a United Kingdom pressure group opposed to the liberal direction (or "modernisation") of the Conservative Party.
It was formed by disaffected members of the Conservative Monday Club, another pressure group, over the way in which the Club should have responded to the Conservative Party's very public severing of 'links' with the Club in 2001, due to the Club's alleged racism.
On October 6, 2004 the Conservative Democratic Alliance held a rally in tribute to Enoch Powell as a fringe event at the Conservative Party Conference in Bournemouth.
