    One is a half way house to what the British people want. THEIR COUNTRY BACK, The other all the way to what we want but with a nasty taste in the mouth . It could never have come to this if we had a reasonable immigration policy with immigrants made to live in our society as equals not a privileged and cosseted special people with all our institutions bent to fit them not the other way round . I like most others wish there was a reasonable way out of this ridiculous situation bought on us by well meaning idiots hell bent on being benevolent at our cost . But i like many other know that only drastic action will make any difference but also know its to late to save dear old Blighty. And that our once great county is doomed to be a fractured and poor fifth class society with a fading memory of a glorious past.

  • Your question is puzzling because if you are a BNP supporter the impression I have got from them is that they do not encourage clean debate and they campaign largely through propaganda. For these reasons I am very suspicious of them, because they constantly say that all other politicians are corrupt liars in effect and that only the BNP are honest (which I dispute) and have the answer, this implies that no other opinion is worth listening to, and I can’t see how they would function in a democracy which always has opposition parties, maybe their true intention would be to stifle the opposition as Hitler did. UKIP may just be a relatively ineffectual right wing pressure group but they do not use these tactics, or at least not openly. The BNP’s vision for Britain seems to be nationalistic in the white supremacist sense, whereas UKIP just want to limit immigration but do not want to deport non-white nationals or to allow discrimination against them as the BNP would. This is a particular problem for me because I live in a racially mixed area and most of the time we all get along fine, and I would want any privileges that I get to be on merit not on my English racial origin, if the BNP managed to deport all the non-whites from our area it would frankly go derelict.

    If you want debate, have a look at the Stop the BNP website for instance and decide for yourself if it is all muckraking and smears as the BNP claim.

    UKIP aren't just half-baked; they don't even have a full quota of policy 'ingredients' to make up a half-respectable political party.

    Sceptic: The Labour Party has Militant Tendency history, and now the Conservative Party has almost exactly the same policies as the Labour Party. So neither are viable alternatives either come to that. While we are on the subject of changing political parties, the LibDems used to be the Social Democrats and the Liberal Party. But UKIP never were anything noteworthy.

    Take a look at these references and read for yourself about the comprehensive policies of the BNP.

    It's time to vote BNP, because they do have the courage and determination to carry out their policies for the restoration of Britain.

    Really old fashioned rather bone-headed Tories. One of their MEP's was so sexist as to be attacked from the 'progressive left' by Alexandra Mussolini.

    UKIP are more acceptable to some as they tend to have less 'working class' support than the BNP and are therefore , on some existential level, less frightening.

    It depends what you mean by 'half-baked'.

    Are UKIP halfway to being a nazi party? Maybe.

    If, by half baked, you mean right-wing, nationalistic, but without the race hate and the National Front history, then yes.

    UKIP over BNP any day
