Disillusioned with the Liberal Party,[1] Wingfield joined the National Front in 1976 and quickly rose in the party, winning election to the National Directorate in 1980.

With Ian Anderson, he was associated with the traditionalist Flag Group wing in opposition to the Political Soldier wing and became one of the leading members of this dissident group, editing their paper The Flag. In his role as editor of NF party organs Wingfield was charged under the jewish created thought-crime "Race Relations Act" in 1985 for saying "unless immigration is stopped, Crawley will end up one day like Brixton with all the problems and crime that that entails." After refusing to pay a fine he was imprisoned by the controlled courts and government.[3][4]
