At which point do you think any rational human being thought he was a serious politician? Wibble Send a noteboard - 23/10/2009 01:21:38 AM
For the leader of a political party to be dismantled that badly was hillarious.


He's the leader of a far right racist party, by and large supported by racists. The BNP didn' get seats in Europe because they are a 'viable alternative', they got those seats in a protest vote. People voting against immigration in protest at the lack of a serious debate on the issue, and people not voting in disgust at the lack of any actual truth or decency from mainstream parties.

Did that program address any of that? No, it confirmed everything that was true before to be true today.

The BNP are still racist. The other parties are still gutless on actual debate about immigration, preferring to sling racist around. And the best way to wind people up, show dissatisfaction with the political process, and slap the mainstream in the face...is to protest vote...probably BNP.

I don't think they'll get a seat at the genral election at all, or any big vote. People tend not to protest vote when it matters. But come by-elections, council elections and EU elections, if they state of politics is what it is now. Expect a repeat of the EU electiosn a few months ago.
