According to the British National Party website the British National Party will try to achieve the following if they gain power at the 2010 general election:
British foreign policy must be driven by one guiding principle alone – to serve British interests above all else. This iron principle will be strictly enforced by a British National Party government.
In reality, this means that Britain’s foreign relations should be determined by the protection of our own national interests – and not by our like or dislike of other nations’ internal politics.
Britain has no right to dictate the internal politics or social configuration of any other nation. We would also expect all other nations to grant this same right to Britain.
We would have no quarrel with any nation that does not threaten British interests. In this regard, a BNP government will:
– Reach an accord with the Muslim world whereby they will agree to take back their excess population which is currently colonising this country, in exchange for an ironclad guarantee that Britain will never again interfere in the political affairs of the Middle East or try to dictate to any Arab or Muslim country as to what their internal government form should be; and
– Maintain an independent foreign policy of our own, and not a spineless subservience to the USA, the ‘international community’, or any other country.
With regard to Europe, a BNP government will:
– Resolutely oppose the single European currency;
– Support the overwhelming majority of the British people in their desire to keep the Pound and our traditional weights and measures.
At the same time, a BNP government will strive for the best possible relationship with our European neighbours. The nations of Europe should be free to trade and cooperate whenever it is mutually beneficial without being forced into a straightjacket of political and economic unification – which is neither desirable, ultimately practically unfeasible and which is guaranteed to create conflict rather than avoid it.
Accordingly, a BNP government will withdraw from the European Union.
In place of the EU, a BNP government will aim towards greater national self-sufficiency, and work to restore Britain’s family and trading ties with Australia, Canada and New Zealand, and to trade with the rest of the world as it suits us.
Following our withdrawal from the EU, the BNP government will use the £43 million per day net contribution Britain at present makes to the European Union to fund many far more useful projects at home.
In addition, a BNP government will reject the idea that Britain must forever be obliged to subsidise the incompetence and corruption of Third World states by supplying them with financial aid.
Only once poverty and deprivation amongst British people has been eliminated, can any thought be given to foreign aid – and even then, a BNP government will link foreign aid with our voluntary resettlement policy, in terms of which those nations taking significant numbers of people back to their homelands will need cash to help absorb those returning. The billions of pounds saved every year by this policy will also be reallocated to vital services in Britain.
The time has come for change.
British National Party Foreign Affairs Policy :http://bnp.org.uk/policies/foreign-affairs/
I would be interested to hear both positive and negative views on BNP’s Foreign Affairs policies in the comments below?
Hi
This poll is getting silly – seems to have been taken over by the supporters of the BNP who are at about 2% in the national opinion polls! They have very little if any real support outside parts of south yorkshire and greater manchester and even there only got 2 MEPs elected because of the low turnout.
The Lib Dems offer the best hope for Britain with Vince Cable as Treasury spokesman, opposing ID cards and other authoritarian policies pursued by this government. Britain need the European Community more than they need us so leaving would be great folly. I believe the wisest step forward is not only to remain committed to Europe and reject the xenophobic little Englander approach of UKIP (or even the Tory party) and accept the Lisbon Treaty. We need also alternatives to nuclear power, pull out of Afghanistan and of course we should have never have become involved in Iraq.
By the way well done to you Jimmy Carter for exposing the real reason for the American Right wings opposition to Barrack Obama’s proposed reforms of the American health service.

There was a lower voter turnout yes, but we also gained 100,000 votes up from around 830,000 to 934,000.
Yes a significant proportion (over 6%) of those who voted in the EU/local elections voted BNP, which when you consider the Conservatives (who gained most votes) only gained 27%** it shows the British people are clearly split on who they want to govern this country and which ever political party wins next general election they will not represent the majority of the voting British public!
** The Conservatives gained 27%, but only 1/3rd of those who could vote (45 million could vote, 15 million voted) bothered to vote, so only 9% of eligible British voters voted for the Conservatives!
The Liberal Democrats are probably closest to what I believe in, but they are a minor political party with no hope of gaining significant power and so there’s little point voting for them unless the area you live in they might win. Also the Liberal Democrats are a bit wishful thinking in their policies, in an ideal world great, but we don’t live in an ideal world.
So I’ll vote Labour next general election, not because I think they are an awesome political party which does everything right, but because overall they care more about people than the Conservatives.
I’m 39 years old and remember what it was like growing up under a Conservative government and it was hard. As a teenager I was paid less than £1 an hour because the Conservatives left wages to market forces! With Labour life is better with a minimum wage for more people than under the Conservatives, yes they make a lot of mistakes, but I think Labour’s political heart is in the right place. The Conservatives heart in comparison is a few sizes too small :)

do not play with percentages i was told by a headmaster percentages lie!! people of the BNP we are going to be faced with the biggest attack on us by the upper class liberal elite.it will be more ferocious and evil that the sustained attack in the E?U elections this attack will take several forms/News papers/TV radio. Media I believe it will consist of trying to make the BNP
1/ look insignificant
2/ try to pretend to debate by way they are interested in BNP policy but the real intention to under mine and remove confidence and put holes in it to try and make it look bad , you can do that with any untried policy (while refusing to explain the policies of the parties they support they cannot because we all no they have failed)
3/ the usual rants Fascist Racist Nazi
4/the promotion of another fringe party ukip/ED
5/try to make the BNP leader look silly not
credible
6/ attack on the BNP on blogs coming mainly from the communist unions and the Lancaster communist
university .(I call them Communist because they lean so far to the Left and Stalin the mas genocidal holocaust murderer is there hero
7/Physical &Verbal attacks in the street
8/demeaning and base insults, again to under mine confidence . i will update this later
So be warned Be vigilant Be careful! god bless the BNP

I’ve been participating in a couple of BNP discussion groups, one on should the BNP leader be allowed on Question Time and another on the BNP generally.
A link to this page was posted on another pro BNP Facebook group with around 3,000 members asking BNP members to vote for the BNP here!
Looks like around 80 BNP supporters came and voted and a small number commented as well.
At first I thought it was one person using a proxy to vote, but after checking they appear (99% sure, you can never be 100% sure) to be legitimate votes, so I’ll leave them in (I can delete votes).
Nothing stopping anyone suggesting others to vote for a particular party, this page will gain 10s of thousands of visitors naturally before the general election, so should be close to how the British public will vote (mostly) even with the odd glitch like the one above.

Reasons to vote BNP: You are sick and twisted, not realistic, your from a planet called FOOL, you dont know your history, nor your geography, you dont understand how the country was built, you dont understand how the wars happened, how we survived, how we’ve struggled….if you did, you WOULD NOT BE VOTING BNP. I’ve read some really ridiculous things in my life but nothing tops the foolishness of Britons who live, work, breath, travel, experience life alongside other foreigners and still comment on why they SHOULD vote BNP. get real, there is a reason so little people voted for them, the majority of us know the true facts of Britian and without the help of other countries, we would never be where we are now. Anyone who wants to comment on why they should, read a Politics and History book first, educate your mind, expand your thoughts and think before you speak!!!!
Let Nick Griffin spread his poision. The British people (or the ones with a brain) know your a complete ideological idiot.
