Comment on BNP Policies : BNP Foreign Affairs Policy by David.

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 :)
