The National Distributist Party is a socially Conservative and economically Distributist minor political party. The party was launched in April 2020, and was officially registered with the Electoral Commission on the 24th of December 2021.[2]

Description

[edit]

The National Distributist Party (NDP) was founded by members of an online community to promote Distributism as an alternative economic theory and political philosophy in the United Kingdom.[3] [4] The NDP is inspired by the works of renowned Distributists such as G.K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc, who advocated for a more equitable distribution of wealth and property.[5]

Distributism, as an economic theory, emphasises the widespread distribution of property and the decentralisation of economic power.[6] The NDP seeks to create a society where individuals and families possess the means of production. This philosophy stands in contrast to both capitalism and socialism, advocating for an economic system that ensures economic freedom while preventing the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few.[7]

The NDP engages in various forms of activism to spread awareness of National Distributist principles. This activism has garnered media interest, bringing attention to their efforts to present Distributism as a viable alternative in contemporary political and economic discourse.[8]

Representatives

[edit]

In 2023, Tyler White stood as the NDP candidate in the Stonehouse Town Council by-election.[9] Tyler White lost the election to Wendy Thomson (Independent) who won 652 (91.8%) votes.[10][11] Tyler White won 58 (8.17%) votes in the election.[12]

During the 2024 local elections, Tyler White become the first NDP councillor on Nailsworth Town Council through an uncontested election.[13][14]
