Elections

[mrph]

The results look pretty good, from my point of view. Blair gets a kick in the teeth, the BNP get almost nothing. The Conservatives get a bit of a boost, but not enough to suggest that they'll walk straight back into government next year... and the Liberal Democrats also get a bit of a boost.

Was pleased to see that we didn't have a BNP candidate standing in the local elections, too. They did field candidates in the Euro elections though, and I'm hoping they get nothing...

And I forgot to mention their "repatriation" policy...whereby they would fund the repatriation of any non uk (white) who wishes to leave the UK!

Hmmmm.....

I think that having the BNP actually get a seat would be a positive thing.

In much the same way as when La Pen got to the primaries in the french presidential election - the turn out went up ballistically, because all the previous apathetical 'can't be arsed, it doesn't make a difference' voters decided that actually, they did have an opinion here.

Well, it's already happened, hasn't it? Hence the emphasis on keeping them out this time, and Howard's speech in Burnley...

Indeed! This is my point exactly!

As they say they are not racist - would they fund my "repatriation" to a place of my choice if they get in?

I don't care if they'll pay for me to move back home, I'm still not voting for them!
