I wasn’t actively anti-BNP before I created this General Election 2010 site, considered the BNP as an extreme right wing party with no hope of ever gaining any power because of their racist history (didn’t realise they now hate Muslims in place of blacks etc…).
I just couldn’t see the British people voting for a party like the BNP beyond a protest vote.
Since I keep getting pro BNP comments on my site I don’t have a choice, but to confront them head on.
It does concern me that there are parallels between how the Nazi party gained power in the 1930s and how the BNP approach politics (Hitler’s Mein Kampf appears to be required reading in the BNP!!).
The Nazi party had similar popular support as the BNP have now, tiny fraction of Germans voted Nazi, tiny fraction of Britons vote BNP. If German Nazi history should teach us anything it’s to not sit back and wait for a problem to spiral out of control.
I don’t see how the BNP could ever gain power in the next 10 years, but I’m sure lots of moderate Germans thought the same in 1920, so as the BNP have been pretty much thrust in my face, I might as well do my best to keep them out of power.
One BNP MP is too many in my opinion. The BNP are the strongest argument against proportional representation I can think of and I kind of like PR!
