There are racists in all parties but the BNP is the only

Comment on Are the BNP Racists? by Martin Willett.

There are racists in all parties but the BNP is the only one which would not use a proven accusation of racist behaviour (even criminal racist behaviour) or holocaust denial to expel a member. UKIP might do its best to avoid a charge being made but once out on the table a charge of racism would be used to expel a member of the Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat or UK Independence parties. Because of this the BNP will be beyond the pale, no other party would ever consider forming any alliance with them, to do so would be electoral suicide and their own parties would implode in disgust.

While not all the racists in the country vote BNP (or Respect) all the other parties acknowledge that a perception that they harbour racists would be something they would do all they could to dispel or avoid.

The BNP are very active on this forum because a lot of them have plenty of free time and they can’t read anything with longer than average words. If all the racists of Britain and everybody who has ever had half a mind to vote BNP (which is about all you need) voted for them they would receive fewer seats than the Liberal Democrats and they would have nobody willing to discuss forming even a temporary ad hoc coalition with them.
