BNP Ups Membership fees by 60%
The BNP’s standard membership fee has increased by a whopping 60% , up from £30 per-year to £48 per-year.
The party has also offered pay-monthly membership plans, but under this scheme standard membership will cost £4.50 per-month, over 12 months this is a total of £54.00 ( an 80% increase).
In an short-sighted effort to immediately boost the cash-starved party administration, the party has offered membership at the old rate until late December this year.
Some BNP die-hards say that the increase is necessary, as evidenced by the BNP’s dire financial position, but Membership revenue was insufficient because expenditure was way above what it should have been.
Even the old £30 standard membership wasn’t exactly cheap, you know.
The BNP has done the maths on this, it knows that it won’t win back big numbers of lapsed or new members, so they’ve been left with no option but to raise membership fees for its remaining membership.
They’re going to screw the loyal membership, which is around 2,000/3,000, into the ground. This will generate (at new fee) the equivalent revenue of much greater membership numbers at the old rate. (see below).
In short, 5000 members @ old rate = £150,000 in membership revenue.
———–3000 members @ new rate = £144,000 in membership revenue.
It’s a calculated winding down of operations.
