Vestienian Nationalist Front

The **Vestienian Nationalist Front** commonly known as VNF is a rightist, nationalist, fascist and populist political party in Vestienia, founded by famed Vestienian nationalist Charles Barret.

In contrast to its rival and leftist PPV, the party's platform is generally conservative, involves supporting a people's community, sufficient economic intervention and opposing regulation and labor unions.

## History

The Vestienian Nationalist Front was founded by Charles Barret on 16th June 2004 in Newsilver, Vestienia. Founded initially as a sociopolitical movement, in August 2004 the first Central Executive Committee of the Vestienian Nationalist Front was formed under the leadership of Charles Barrett, including Aegon Targaryen, Joeseph Goebbels, Rudolph Hess and Illyrio Mopatis as founding members. VNF began to grow slowly but did not achieve immediate popularity. Barret launched VNF as a party which he claimed represented the true aspirations of the people of Vestienia.

The Vestienian Nationalist Fronts constitution was approved on 24 January 2005  by the Central Executive Committee in Newsilver. However, the Vestienian Nationalist Front would boycott any upcoming elections, terming them as corrupt and rigged. In February 2015, the VNF founder Charles Barrett suffered a stroke and died, leaving behind a power vacuum. Unrest within the party continued during the months directly after the death of Charled Barret, finally settling down with the ascension of Aegon Targaryen to the position of VNF President. In this position, Aegon bringforth drastic changes to the political setup of the party, and the leadership. Although the VNF boycotted the 2015 June House of Representatives Elections, Aegon was eventually able to persuade the party to participate in all of the next elections.

The Vestienian Nationalist Front's rightist program remains to be on par and in competetion with that of the Vestienia Independence Party .

The party espouses a viewpoint rooted in civic nationalism, while explicitly rejecting ethnic nationalism. However, it has been noted on numerous circumstances that the Party has discriminated against various ethnic groups whilst promoting others, showing that the Party does support racialism to some extent.

The Party has a strict immigration policy, generally being opposed to immigration by other nationalities to Vestienia and has been critical of interracial marriages. Similarly, the political party has campaign against homosexuals, transgenders and lesbians on moral grounds and has occasionally rejected liberalism. This belief has put the party at odds with the Federalist Party of Vestienia, being referred to as mirror opposites.
