I grew up under a tory government, and watched as they ripped the heart out of this country, privatised BT, effectively closed British Steel and the coal board, brought in the poll tax, as well as hundreds of other unpopular policies.
Yes Labour have had their own problems, but I believe that no matter who was in charge for the last 10 years, the same mistakes and decisions would have been made.
As for wanting your own country back, the BNP won't give you that, they don't even know what being british means, so how can a bunch of bigotted racists decide who gets to stay in the country.
Can you imagine what would happen if every country in the world decided to send back all British immigrants, we wouldn't cope!!

There are only two political parties in the frame to my mind the BNP and UKIP. I am not sure where the term racialist comes from with regards to the BNP The BNP are putting up a number of Indian and seik candidates as well as Jewish candidates and as far as i know there is no colour bar for MP'S. The BNP are not right wing they are left wing if any thing so where do you get your information from. As far as racialism is concerned the worst kind of racialism is reverse racialism (being racialist against your own people) and it seems we have many reverse racialist on this forum. Let me give advice, and I hope the sensible ones on this site will support me, ALL RACIALISM IS OFF LIMITS. Reverse racialism is as bad as any other form of racialism and using this against BNP supporters is not on. UKIP, are in my opinion more to the right but I think we need both of these parties in the next Parliament to add a balance that is simply not there at the moment.
Both BNP and UKIP are vehemently against the proposal for a super state and wish to get to grips with the immigration shambles New Labour and the Conservatives have got us into and of course the indigenous Britain's right to exist.

Although I have always been Conservative I am inclined towards the UK Independent Party. David Cameron has had so many chances to shoot the Labour Party down in flames and he could even have his choice of area, but he remains quiet and appears weak for it. I think Cameron is best remembered for the fact that he took drugs at college twenty odd years ago and won't apologise as he thinks it was harmless fun and high jinx (we'll see if any of his kids take it, and he may just change his opinion) Lot's of Conservatives are apparently jumping over to the UKIP for this reason too along with other reasons. The Independent Party are trying to bring other area's to their forefront apart from the Europe issue such as immigration, NHS and many others that the conservatives have ignored. I think getting away from Europe would be a first step to breaking free from laws and regulations that have been imposed on us from Brussels, but we need to start to sort our core problems out not just keep sticking a hypothetical plaster over them. I will probably reserve judgement until nearer an election but I am sitting up and listening to rumblings about the UKIP...

All our polititians are lying scum, the uk government is the biggest organised crime mob, the working people of this country are mugged every day.
When will we learn that we live in a democracy and government should be
FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE.
But for starters lets get shot of Labour call it what you will new old whatever they are a bunch of socialists who feed their buddies and don't give a rats assed **** about the folk who do the real work in the UK .
All we get is TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX Well we have and enough its our hard earned money so lets find some people that will cut taxes and spend what we do pay on essentials, and the people should have the chance of sacking MPS if they fail to delivery on their stated mandates, instead of telling us a bunch of lies and then going on to line their own pockets.
ONE PISSED OFF BRIT THAT THINKS MORE LIKE AN AMERICAN (SO SOD OFF ALL YOU BLEEDING HEART LIBERALS, SOCIALISTS AND EURO LOVERS)

As I am Scottish I shall vote S.N.P.
I wouldn't vote for a party who is racist against their own people,take away their freedom of speech, abolish their age old religious traditions and be involved in criminal activities as Tony Blair and the Labour party have done since they found there's a buck to be made and not a thing we can do about it until election time.

We do need a change as the new lot will try real hard for a while. I am not sure that all people are dissapointed with new labour but the Conservatives are the best party for law and order - if that is your grouse.

UKIP
Lets say boll*x to the EU cos thats whats screwing our country over. Now this government are trying to make UKIP look bad blaming them for money issues which arent true = when the reality is the governmment is scared. Everyone knows that Tony Blair has had his day. 3 high profile Tories have recently defected to UKIP. The people in power must now realise we want our country back and dont just want to be an unidentifiable blob in the European Union

Someone said the BNP. Dont think about it. My elder brother moved to London a few years ago, and liked what he heard in Barking. He didn't hate blacks or Indians, just hated the way the main parties thought we needed them, and believed the BNP would make England (especially) respectful again. He made the mistake of going out with a black girl from Tooting, who was born in Ipswich which if I still remember is in England and even made it worse by telling another BNP voter. He was told to leave her or leave the party. In the end he left London altogether, without Sara or love for the BNP, and did what our family has always done - vote Tory. Okay, people may say there's no difference, but after being told about the BNP, as wierd as the main parties are, I would throw my hat in to one of them anytime, and as my mothers half of the family are Jewish, looks like Brother Andy got out just in time.

i will vote for respect. they have no chance of winning but the only parties that can labour and the tories are as bad as each other theres no choice between them. i dont know what anyone can do in this country now any vote is a waisted vote. but i still think you should vote just vote for who you agree with even if they have no chance of winning if everyone did that then maybe things will start to change. the big 2 parties need to learn they cant just take peoples vote for granted and not voting at all is a vote for the big 2 parties.

I'm ashamed to see that people are saying BNP. I'm not exactly white, but I was born and raised in the UK. so because of my colour that doesn't make me "British". If thats being British then fu*k Britian. Anyway I think that no one should vote for anyone. Then we will see who wins and how fixed the election system is. Finally, if you are truly "British" why don't you fight the real enemy. Our two - faced government. ( and I mean fight, none of that marching for nothing crap. Blood must be spilled for them to listen)
