You know, bang on about things like lower taxes or rights for workers & then come election time folk vote for parties that offer policies that reflect their opinions.

Read Richard Littlejohn and Melanie Phillips. Read the Daily Mail, The Sun and The Express. When you bang on day after day about the evils of immigration, benefit cheats, the evil empire of the EU, etc. you will, over a period of time, create a constituency for a party that takes these positions to their logical conclusion. <BR/><BR/>If the right wing press don't want the BNP to do well on May 1st they should look at how they are contributing to the atmosphere that sustains them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-6643116028644035512008-04-01T09:51:00.000+01:002008-04-01T09:51:00.000+01:00given that they are collectivist (as long as you'r...given that they are collectivist (as long as you're white) and advocate greater state powers against individual freedom, it should come as no surprise to anyone that the BNP are socialists as well as 'nationalists'.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure there was another Nationalist / Socialist party years ago but I forget the details.

The BNP actually offers some things that people want, and they want them so badly that they are prepared to put up with the other nonsense. <BR/><BR/>3.) Due to the EUmpire, our politicians are no longer useful or important, but they are expensive (and annoying) decoration.
