I think for a lot of people, it’s more a case of how much worse can it get even with a BNP government in power.
One thing I notice on each of my short visits back (a couple of days in the summer en-route to Europe) is that the UK gets more depressing each time I’m there, people just seem to be more miserable than they were the last time. I see people in the airport who ask me where I’m going and where I live and tell me how lucky I am not to live there and they hate the country because of what it’s become.
I don’t think you people living there notice it so much because your erosion of your freedoms are very gradual whereas it’s a big change for me to see the differences each year. People just don’t stand up for themselves any more.
Getting back to the BNP, I’m not going to actively campaign against them because I think that while they are gathering support the other parties should take note, start listening and amend their manifesto’s accordingly, it would serve them right to lose a few seats to the BNP. I don’t think that any of the main parties actually have to do too much to bring those protest votes back.
