Re: Stop the bnp

People are indeed angry at the mainstream. People want to protest vote, but there are other parties to protest vote for rather than the BNP whom breed hatred.

Hope Not Hate.

Re: Stop the bnp

I find this interesting ... I don't think we have an equivalent ... have to go back to the 20s and 30s when the KKK were very active and very popular in Saskatchewan and Alberta ... What kind of people vote for them? Do they have a solid constituency that can be identified? Maybe I could google it, but would rather hear real opinion.

Labour tend to suffer more at the hands of people switching from them to BNP on the whole. The problem is that they're a party of hatred BUT they also have a range of populist policies which are not racist, and which people like.

20 days until voting day and I've had one leaflet through the door, from a Green Party geezer.

For all I know, he's the only bloke standing, so I'll vote for him

Ok ... I think it is the last part which is dangerous ... reminds me of the Reform Party over here ... they changed into the Conservative party and incorporated the remnants of the old Progressive Conservatives ... in Canada the populist, right-wing parties come out of the rural areas, mainly western Canada ... once they are into the mainstream, they tend to shed most of their nastier elements and extreme, right-wing positions ... is there a possibility that this could happen with the BNP?

I think that post is well justified and hopefully the ones who may be tempted will sit up and take note.
