Is it racist to vote BNP?

Question

most political parties adopt political corectness which is idiotic in my opinion, the only party that does not adopt this policy is the BNP however the media seems to have branded them 'evil' and 'racist', do you think they are?

Answer 1

I feel some of their policies are correct. If they got rid of the extremist, nazi, skin head elements then they would be taken extremely seriously. I'm sure if Britain had a referendum on whether or not to allow any immigrants to enter the UK, it would be an overwhelming NO. Mainsteam political parties are terrified of being accused of racism. Your vote is your own and no one should be able to brand you of anything because you have exercised your right to vote

Answer 2

Well they are a far right party and some of the policies are directed against immigrants and suchlike so thats why people see them as racist. I actually agree with some of their policies (improvements in education - teaching kids about their own history, health service, cutting back on uncontrolled unskilled immigration etc), but not in the "repatriation of all non-British people" etc - thats just going too far. And there is still a great stigma about anything far right in this country - after all its only 60 years ago that British people were dying to fight off the threat of invasion by a far right "Third Reich". My mother (who was a small child in WWII) is horrified at the very idea of anyone voting BNP. Many people feel voting BNP is a dishonour to those who died to fight against Hitler and his ideologies and keep Britain free - although I have to say that the country they fought for isn't recognisable today. My dad fought in WWII and he'd be horrified to see the state of this country today - the crime, the homelessness, the unemployment, the poverty, British families living in B&Bs while immigrants get council houses etc. Thats not what he fought for. So who knows. It'd be interesting to see if they did get into power what their policies would be in action rather than on paper.

With Britain's single-member first-past-the-post system (at least for Westminster elections) it is not racist to vote BNP. In the current electoral system, each voter has one, and only one, choice from a handful of candidates. One may vote for a particular candidate because one agrees with their policies. One may also vote for a candidate simply because the mainstream parties offer nothing and people feel it is time to send a message. That, to an extent was what happened to the Scottish National Party in the 1970's. Scots felt that no Westminster government could deliver what Scots wanted. So they elected eleven MP's. If they had won seats in proportion to their vote, it would have been 25 or 26.

So, it is not racist to vote BNP. Whether they are evil and racist is more complex. Nick Griffin seems to have done an excellent job in keeping order within the party, unlike the National Front, which had the same core. (He has, of course, broadened the core very noticeably.) What the BNP does is appeal to the working person's sense of fairness. There is nothing wrong with that. We will only truly find out if they are evil and racist if and when they attain power.

Actually, I think the bigger problem for Britain is not in their allegedly racist and hateful policies, but in their economic policies. They favour isolationism. I understand their desire to leave the EU and set up trade agreements. Those who voted for the "Common Market" in 1975 (my parents amongst them) thought that is what we were voting for.

As a protest vote to kick the mainstream parties up the backside, I think the BNP is a useful vote. Not one vote will be wasted, because every vote, even if it does not elect a BNP MP, will send a message to the moribund parties that they have to wake up. I reserve judgement on how well the BNP will do as it gets closer to power.

Answer 5

The BNP will become a force in this country due to the fact that the main parties have far too long been selling Britain and the British people down the swannee. People who I know who had no racist leanings at all are changing their attitudes, why? because people are fed up with being treated like second class citizens in this country and are expected to change their ways so new immigrants won't be offended. Our traditional way of life, as many people see, is slowly being erroded away. Labour and the PC brigade are vote winners for the BNP.

Answer 6

The BNP are a minority party who stand for intolerance, prejudice and targeted, if not blind, hatred.

This country, (the UK), has been multicultural for over 200 years, we have grown up, our values are based on fairness and trade, mistakes have been made but in the last 20 years people have decided to forget about the values that made our country the trade capital of the world, meritocracy and the knowledge that all people are born equal and our lives have some basis somewhere grounded in fairness, I'm not proud of this country anymore but that's because the dreams we made for ourselves are being hijacked by greed and prejudice, Europe and America seem more interested in power, freedom started in this country and when it dies here, it will be a sad day.

Freedom, does not mean we can do and say what we want but freedom means we can enjoy the cultures of other nations in a country whose climate seems so dreary during winter but for some reason is always too ******* hot during the middle of summer.

We are a stronger nation because of our diversity and when someone explains to me how Israel can play in our European International football matches when, more or less at the same time, they are bombing their neighbours with cluster bombs, I will be able to chill out a little bit more.

That said, we invaded Iraq so maybe I should have have paid more attention at school to learning German, the Nazis invented the cluster bomb you know.

Do you think the notion of irony will one day catch up with us?

Answer 7

I love the way people say ,you should go on to the bnp
website to find out more.websites are not going to tell you the
bad points(its not in the bnps interests to do so)OK lets get
tough on immigration,sounds good.(what that really means is)
kick out all who are not English and how exactly does that work.
I have some English born Asian friends(not religious in any way)
would they be considered English in the eyes of the bnp.

Just because the bnp have started wearing suits and ties,
and have toned down the views and policies which they
stand for(white English)I know they have a few minorities
onboard also.they are secretly loving all this anti Muslim
hate preaching(not all Muslims are filled with hate,not all
Muslims are suicide bombers,not all black men are muggers)
and im sure not everybody who votes bnp is a racist.
So if you vote bnp just remember you probably wont
get exactly what it says on the tin

Answer 8

No way is it a Rasict party for many reasons: they beleive in keeping britain British, they are not scared to tackle such issues as immagration and policing etc, they have views on how things should be done that the common man thinks they should be done. They believe that people who come to live in our country should live by the way we live, not impose thier ways on us. Voting for a party like the BNP is a proteset vote against our commical government who is more interested in giving rights to Kiddie fiddlers and terrorists. If we had a party like the BNP in government, we wouldn't have so many issues and problems like we have today. The press tar them with this 'RASICT' brush because they know that the BNP are right and they are too scared to admitt it.

Answer 9

if you are undecided where to cast your vote you have to look at the issues that mean most to you.for me immigration is a major problem in this country so yes they will be getting my vote.the only reason is there the only party with the balls to do something about it.on the other hand if you want a mass Exodus to this country from people all over the world taking are jobs for less pay and draining are national health system i suggest you vote labour.like i said its whats important to you.

Answer 10

even the mention of immigration sends the loony left into a tiswas
I would like to see an end to all immigration and repatriation of muslims from my country.
However , I dont disrespect muslims or any other race or religion just because they are different.Which is something i would label racism.
However, if a particualr race or religious people is opposed to my freedom and my culture then i am not going to want them here.That doesnt make me racist, It wouldnt matter if theyre good wholesome white canadian lumberjacks.Fit in or fcough!
The loony left bandy the word racism so easily because it stifles debate, no on dare speak their minds in case they are ostracised at work or arrested for practising freedom of speech.
The media , within itself doesnt have an opinion , but rather manipulates the mood for its own ends.If saying the bnp is racist helps sell papers then that is the path they take.
When such a party reaches influential levels the media will alter course.
we dont have to be manipulated by the media, trying to make evryone feel like they are the only ones with that thought.
We are millions strong in our views.
The BNP are so much more than just concerned with immigration.They focus on our rights to freedom of speech.something that mine and yours grandfathers fought for and what our soldiers overseas are fighting for now.
Tony blair is laughing at the sacrifice our servicemen and women have made to give us the right to speak our mind

Vote BNP , they say what they mean and mean what they say
