Marty has covered most of the bases.

I'm no fan of the current Government, but, as a white, heterosexual, able-bodied male, I don't feel discriminated against.

My biggest problem with the BNP is that senior members (including the leader) have been filmed showing their true colours singing racist songs and expressing offensively right-wing views. Although they may try to present a more palatable public facade, this showed what sort of people they really are and I can't believe people have forgotten/ignored this.

Also, campaigning on the grounds of "they've come over here and taken our jobs etc" has a long history (cheers Adolf!) and is a cheap and easy way to appeal to disgruntled masses. Jobs aren't being "taken" by immigrants etc but they are willing to do the jobs/hours that many "true Brits" won't.

Yes, it is only a couple of MEP's and a council seat here and there, but the Far Right is gaining throughout Europe and it's frankly terrifying. The mainstream parties are to blame to a certain extent with their scrabbling for the common middle ground but people can't be swayed by extreme blame/hate politics. We have to look at history and can't allow ourselves to go down that road yet again.

Finally, not being bothered to vote or "not voting as a protest" is the worst crime and has led to this sorry situation. Hopefully this will be the kick up the backside that people need and won't be replicated in the General Election.

Heathens... I agree, Imperial system is just mad.. come on FRA get with the times km / m!!
This attitude demonstrates what's wrong with the Brits. Since you regard not voting as a crime, what do you propose to do with people, who refuse to vote for the bunch of lying skunks?

History certainly tells us about what's occurring today. It tells us that when you discriminate for certain groups, you create hardships for the victims. Those victims then usually want revenge against those or scapegoats for their misery.

What's happening today has to be because of the past. I'll tell you something else, support for the BNP will grow. When times get hard people move to the extremes(provided they're offered), because the extremes, rightly or wrongly,hold consistent viewpoints.
