Other than the odd council election, BNP have no chance.
they are mostly seen as a single issue party,
they are seen as a party *of* ignorant thugs, *for* ignorant thugs.
If I was a bookie I'd give 100/1 for them winning any seat in the next election and 1,000,000,000/1 for them gaining power

The BNP have as much chance of being in government as a snowball in hell. While it may be true that there is considerable dissatisfaction amongst certain working class voters in some areas the same is not true of Middle England. It is Middle England which decides the outcome of a general election and not the working class. It is also the case that the Liberal Elite of UK remain ever dominant. This group, also known as the Mayfair Set, own the bulk of the land and property in England. The BNP are not going anywhere.
The BNP like any other extremist party or group have to face powerful opposing forces in UK and in particular in England. These 'forces' have managed the government of UK between them for centuries and they are not going to hand power over to a bunch of thugs. The English judges will certainly know how to deal with any laws passed by a supposed BNP government. A Bill passed by the Commons must then be 'ratified' by the courts before it in effect becomes proper law. The English judges simply are not going to do this.

Enough people have explained why no one but the racist or the idiot can countenance voting for the neo-Nazi BNP.
For those who still swear they are not a racist party, how do you explain these quotes from two of the BNP leaders?
NICK GRIFFIN, 47, married, four children. Cambridge law graduate. Attended his first National Front meeting aged 15. Became NF vice-chairman. Joined BNP in 1995
Received nine-month suspended prison sentence at Harrow Crown Court in May 1998 for inciting racial hatred in his magazine, The Rune. Elected leader of BNP in 1999
ON RACE “Without the White race, nothing matters. [Other right-wing parties] believe that the answer to the race question is integration and a futile attempt to create “Black Britons”, while we affirm that non-Whites have no place here at all and will not rest until every last one has left our land”
ON THE HOLOCAUST “The ‘extermination’ tale is a mixture of Allied wartime propaganda, extremely profitable lie and latter witch-hysteria”
ON POWER “When the crunch comes, power is the product of force and will, not of rational debate. We have to have a body of trained young men capable of defending our organisation. If people come to crack our heads we will break theirs”
MARK COLLETT
AGED 26, single, educated at Loughborough Grammar School and Leeds University, graduate in business and economics, self-employed graphic designer. Former chairman of the Young BNP, now the party’s director of publicity.
ON WINSTON CHURCHILL “Churchill was a f****** c*** who led us into a pointless war with other whites standing up for their race.”
ON THE PRINCE OF WALES “He’s a f****** traitor. Did you hear him say we needed more mosques in this country? All Muslims are anti-British terrorists.”
ON WHETHER BRITISH-BORN BLACKS ARE BRITISH “Just because a dog is brought up in a stable doesn’t make him a horse.”
ON THE ROYAL FAMILY “The Royals have betrayed their people. When we’re in power they’ll be wiped out and we’ll get some Germans to rule properly.”
ON AIDS A “friendly disease because blacks, drug users and gays have it.”
ON JEWS “There’s not a European country the Jews haven’t been thrown out of. When it happens that many times, it’s not just persecution. There’s no smoke without fire.”
ON ADOLF HITLER “Hitler will live forever; and maybe I will.”
Still want to support this horrid pair? If you do then you too are a racist, anti semitic, homophobic, Holocaust-denying fool.
No apologies for repeatedly posting these quotes - every time someone says the BNP aren't racist, I'm alerted to someone who needs to read them.

Your question doesn't really make sense - how much do you know about our electoral system??
Anyway, if I think I understand your question the answer is 'no' and 'no'.
They cannot win the general election by the way as they simply couldn't field enough candidates to win enough seats. Also, the current voting system effectively bars them from The Commons as they would need massive support to win even a single seat.

no one with any sense, education or decency will be voting BNP.
They are racist, bigoted idiotic, uneducated thugs and bullies, and will NEVER get power. If they did, I would quite happily become a freedom fighter...
Trust me on this, they're not going to win, and if they did, they'd spend the entire 5 years in court fighting to get their policies made legal ... and they'd lose every time because their policies are illegal.
Don't you understand what they are - they are NAZI's ... do you really want people who say it's alright to kill millions of women and children in power in the UK? Do you really want the Nazi Swastika flying over Great Britain, after what our grandparents generation did to fight the Nazis in the 1940's?
If you want the EU out and tightly controlled immigration, you should have a look at the UKIP - at least they have a grip on what it takes to run a modern Western European country - plus they are educated, rather than being jackbooted ill-educated, ignorant, racist bullies!
I ask all reasonable people to fight extremism and ignorance everywhere they find it.
Of course, personally I won't be voting unless it's really necessary, as I don't live in the UK, I live in a proper country with low taxes, high standard of living, and 7 weeks holiday a year! But if it looks like the BNP might get in, then I will be forced to use my vote against them.
Hope this helps
Philip

No, not for that bunch of thugs. they play on peoples fears and appeal to the lowest common denominator, not like the other lovely political paries. None of them are worth a crock of s**t, its time we stood up to the b***ards.
