Not that the majority of people necessarily espouse their views, but as a protest vote to this governments inability to curb militant islam on our shores, and its ineffective immigration control?

I think they will get more votes anyway but I dont think it has anything to do with terrorism, probably more to do with immigration.
They got more seats last time round.

The answer to your question is obviously a very big YES!! And why do we have so many naive simpletons about at this time of the morning? Anyone who votes for any of the three major parties has got to be a complete fool. Each of them has conned the country many times in the last few decades. So what is left for the person who refuses to throw his or her vote away? Spoil your ballot paper? A crime in my book. Vote Monster Loony. You're truly a loony. No, vote for a party which you know is going to have an impact and, as a protest vote, the BNP certainly makes that. Thus the answers you got to the question. Too many children up by the look of it. Fortunately too young to vote.You asked in your question about Islam and immigration. Is anyone mad enough to believe that the Tories will make radical changes to current policies. They're simply gutless wonders.

They might, but not just because of that. The Government is playing a very dangerous game, with its populist easy answer policies. They are encouraging the simplistic attitudes that might well open the door to extremism.
Voting BNP as a protest is a pretty poor idea.

The only party not to throw the red carpet out to Racist, west hating Militant Muslims who come here yet hate this country would be the BNP. I dont think they would be as bad as they are made out to be they could make the British public safe for a change. Give them a go i say but if they start planting bombs on Muslim packed trains, blowing up Muslim packed aeroplanes then boot them out too!!

Regrettably the BNP, being a bunch of opportunist scum, will undoubtedly jump on a racist bandwagon and exploit people's fears to gain votes. The trouble is that people generally don't recognise that their problems are not caused by immigrants but by capitalism.
Of course, having got those votes and maybe positions on councils etc doesn't mean that they will actually do anything as has been evidenced.

I hope they do! People should actually visit their website and read some of their policies before jumping to the conclusion that they are racist. Anybody who is fed up with all this terrorist activity should see that the BNP can help! It's not about being racist, it's about wanting to keep some national identity.

Maybe a handful more. Will not make a difference whatsoever. The BNP has made up an image in the eyes of the majority of voters that it is racist and that makes it very difficult for them.

Regretably, I believe that there will indeed be an increase in support for BNP candidates as a consequence of recent terrorist events. It's simply the first law of physics : for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction - extremism breeds extremism.

Not sure why you were called a stupid person, you have every right to ask a question, we still had freedom of speech last time I checked.
I think the answer is yes. People cant talk freely about how they feel, so they vent up their anger and will possibly use it in their vote all for the wrong reasons.

Yes they will get more votes but given the views and general mentality of the type of voter they target there is nothing to worry about. They are only a tiny percentage of the electorate and not representative of the people of this country. Unfortunately the tabloid newspapers tend to give them coverage bringing their hate filled messages to their target voter.

Is the BNP the Brittish version of the US Republicans?
