The British Nationalist

Reflections on this result bring up so many thoughts, firstly lets start with the positive. In both respects voter percentage share and actual votes cast have gone up for the BNP. Since the euros earlier this year they have more than doubled in votes cast, and have risen nearly a percentage point from that same election. to be only a few labour postal ballot papers short of saving the deposit is incredible.

Let’s face it, this is no BNP heartland, but people recognise they only have the BNP to turn to. You do wonder about the 12 thousand people who voted Labour. What!!! exactly does Gordon Brown have to do in which they will say ” We won’t vote labour again. ” He is killing our troops for a needless war and leads a party through one shambles to another whilst most of his own party rips off the British tax payer for thousands of FLIPPING pounds.

The ex-speaker Martin who’s seat this was, may have come from humble background but like most shop stewards has filled his own boots and been well rewarded with a Lordship for his duties. Yet people who struggle on the bread line vote in their thousands for Labour who let this happen.

Postal voting is one thing which trully needs investigating, as a lot of people were counting this as a Labour win before the count even began, due to how many postal votes were cast. It is so easily to defraud those votes something has to be done. Or Labour may already have a lot of the next election in the bag, THE MAIL BAG that is.

But lets rejoice the fine BNP performance Well beating the loony left and only a few votes from saving the deposit and beating the Tories. Laughs to myself, Tories the credible oposition to Labour. NO! it is the BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY.
