Union of National Solidarists
The Union of National Solidarists (UNS) is a break-away party of the IGP. The party is lead by Marc Thomassen who didn't agree with the IGP leadership and the way they reacted on the trial against them. The UNS also holds extreme-right and nationalist ideas but claims to be 'solidarist instead of fascist'. The official doctrine of the UNS is described as 'national solidarism' and is a mixture of conservative values and the endorsement of the nation as community.

 * Glad to see your enthusiasm. I'd however wait until it is all finished before putting anything to a vote. I slowed down a bit due to school things (writing exercises, things to read, examinations coming up). Near the end of January I'll probably be on this again. In the mean time, all suggestions are welcome.  12:26, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
