Thankfully the BNP ****ers didnt make any headway. 
Interestingly when I did an online survery a while ago they were the party my views were most closely allied to. 
That applies to most of us ~ the problem is that their printed aims and policies do look reasonable and in line with popular thinking... their agenda is, however, very different. That is what makes them so dangerous.
So why is there not a party which offers said aims and policies, but without the crystalnacht undercurrent?
Partly to answer my own question, "reasonable" policies that we would support, such as real punishment in prisons, reduced benefits for scroungers and the workshy and so on, would be vote losers with the bulk of the electorate.
The small success seen by the BNP is mostly down to their appeal to the base instincts of some traditional English "working class", who would rather see the country rid of Pakis, Coons and Polacks at any price.
Good question.
For a start i beleive the 'crystalnacht undercurrent' is not confined to the 'working class'. Far from it. Racism knows no social boundaries. And racism is what it's all about. Everything else they spout on about is window dressing behind which are thugs, idiots, bullies and behind them the really dangerous power hungry ones.
Which is sort of what I was trying to get at. If the BNP polled more votes would a non-hitlertarian individual put together a party that wasn't all cryslanachty? Or even would one of the major parties take notice and adopt some of their more "normal" agenda.
I don't come across very well. It makes me sound like a biggoted arsehole and I'm really not.
I agree with you…
I’d like to see the BNP get a large %age of the vote. They are unelectable but such an event would give a huge kick to the other two parties.
We all know that if Labour get kicked-out at the next election the Tories will get in and there will be… more of pretty much the same. Green issues, tax, the environment, etc.
We need them to learn that Joe Public doesn’t really give a toss about the number of plastic bags that Tesco give away but does care that HMG takes 80% of the cost of a litre of petrol and pisses it away on projects that were never mentioned in their manifesto.
