Anton Foljambe (b. 1972 in Christchurch) is the leader of the National Democrats Party (NDP) in New Zealand. He has participated in various far-right organisations in New Zealand. He was the founder of the Conservative Front in 1987, which absorbed the National Front in 1990 and adopted its name. Foljambe remained leader of the merged organisation until 1997, when he left the group because of ideological differences. Foljambe then established a group called the National Democrats Party but later returned to the National Front. Foljambe has unsuccessfully stood for Parliament and council office on several occasions and was one of five National Front members standing under the umbrella of the short-lived Direct Democracy Party in the 2005 general election, this number including former NF leader Kyle Chapman. Foljambe re-activated the NDP this year. He publishes an online viewsletter called "The Conservative Rightist" and is considered the main spokesman for the New Zealand far-right's moderate faction. Foljambe describes himself as an old-fashioned conservative and claims to oppose racism.
