I'll be voting UKIP, because I'd rather vote for a party that doesn't have associations with violent neo-Nazi groups like Combat 18 in its recent history.
The fact the BNP restrict their membership to "indigenous British ethnic groups deriving from the class of ‘Indigenous Caucasian" tells me all I need to know about the end result of any policy they will put into effect.
The BNP aren't in the European Parliament fighting for our civil rights either, as far as I'm aware. It isn't even represented in the Westminster Parliament, being confined to 48 local positions nationwide.
Apart from anything else, no-one is falling for "New BNP" like we fell for "New Labour". I'm quite certain that there are some decent non-racist members of the BNP that have been drawn in by their latest spin campaign, but I don't think they're aware of the overall nature of their party. They believe it stands for united nationalism, when it obviously stands for and promotes division.
UKIP's principal aim is the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union. It currently has 10 seats in the European Parliament and two in the House of Lords. It also has around 30 local councillors on principal authorities, town and parish councils. The party has around 16,700 members, making it the 4th largest party in the UK, while still remaining an independent democratic viewpoint. Plus, it hasn't stabbed the public in the back, and it doesn't advocate separation of constituencies by race, or discrimination against indigenous NON-caucasians.
And the UKIP doesn't have members that have a "scientific" belief in the "genetic hindrances" of races. It took a year for this person to "resign".
The BNP's constitution states that they are "committed to stemming and reversing the tide of non-white immigration and to restoring, by legal changes, negotiation and consent the overwhelmingly white makeup of the British population that existed in Britain prior to 1948."
But is the UKIP strong enough?
If you don't believe that the UKIP is strong enough to make a difference in the next election, that's all the more reason why the entire country should be throwing their support behind them, and not the Conservatives, Lib Dems and New Labour.
The voting public of the UK is the TRUE political force in this country as empowered by our own laws - we hire our politicians and we fire them. We tend to forget that during long periods of one government being in power, and the three main parties don't actually REMIND us of that, do they?
Anyone can see that the leaders of our three main parties are all strongly pro-EU and practically identical nowadays; the only real difference is the level of political clout they wield. The recent referendum vote showed that to a greater or lesser degree, their MPs are more loyal to their parties than to the public - ALL of them should have voted for a referendum to give the public their say, and give us the chance to defend our sovereignty.
Those MPs in the LibDems and Labour that had to rebel against their own whips should jump ship and join the UKIP, because they obviously actually care about their constituents having a voice in this country.
And before you say "Well, the Conservatives largely voted for a referendum", I'll remind them that David Cameron is a self-confessed EU supporter, who doesn't so much want a referendum to give us a voice as to gather popularity votes, and give him time to negotiate a better deal for the Conservatives. It's obvious to me at least that he's NOT looking for the UK public to get out from under EU regulation, instead he's looking to get a slightly bigger slice of the EU pie.
To answer the "one policy party" accusations that are often brought up against the UKIP, it actually has a full domestic agenda, including reforms on taxation, energy and education. It also opposes the use of public money to fund political parties, and adopts policies of equality as opposed to diversity.
All in all, I'd advise you not to waste your vote and go with the UKIP instead. Check out their site over at www.ukip.org.
