Comment on Reasons to Vote British National Party by T.S.Andrews.

Well, I don’t believe in dogmatically supporting anything, unquestioning of their flaws.

Yes, there may well be lesser known examples of people within the BNP. However, the media has known to have twisted words (granted, not solely of the BNP but of any group/person merely to sell). If the BNP ever did get gain a significant position, they could better be scrutinised through their voting records and I have faith that if things look really iffy, the public would opt not to vote said person back in.

Furthermore, if the BNP ever did win one or two seats in the GE, they wouldn’t win enough to drastically change policy (e.g. introducing mandatory conscription) – it’d be overwhelmingly opposed. On that front, I am not too worried either.

As for liking some of Nick Griffin’s ideas, that’s true – but I am not keen on him solely as a person. Consider it more of a sympathy towards particular BNP policies.

Now, for the policies I dislike:-

a) they (as recently as Nov 2008) oppose Civil Partnerships. Perhaps I am biased owing to my own sexuality, but I believe any two committed people should be entitled to be united in the eyes of the law – besides, abolishing it is a tad reactionary. Furthermore, it is an incentive for people to settle down with one another; remove this incentive and promiscuity will likely result.

b) they put too much emphasis on race. I agree that there ARE slight differences between races and that there IS a recognisable “British stock”, but a “Section 28” style thing going with regards to inter-racial marriage is just pointless in my eyes Also, as much as I disagree with the legal action surrounding it (any group/organisation should be able to choose/reject any person(s) they wish), I didn’t like their earlier membership criteria. I consider myself to be more “cultural Nationalist” leaning than “ethnic Nationalist” – ethnicity means little to me, it’s the preservation of British culture and character that I care about.
