Is it racist to vote BNP?

I feel some of their policies are correct.  If they got rid of the extremist, nazi, skin head elements then they would be taken extremely seriously.  I'm sure if Britain had a referendum on whether or not to allow any immigrants to enter the UK, it would be an overwhelming NO.  Mainsteam political parties are terrified of being accused of racism.  Your vote is your own and no one should be able to brand you of anything because you have exercised your right to vote

I used to be a Conservative but now I am not sure.  I voted for them in the General Election but sometimes I think the New Leader is more left than Blair.  I am certainly not a Lib - they are a municipal waste of space on the local council.  I have never ever voted labour.\n\nIf the BNP had a local candidate then I would most likely vote for them.

No.\n\nI may vote Liberal Democrats or the Green Party because I feel that their policies are closer to my line of thinking.  I am also tempted to spoil my ballot with an appropriate political statement.\n\nIf the BNP stand in my constituency, I will probably vote Liberal Democrat since they are quite popular here, and anything to keep them out!\n\nEdit - the BNP are the British National Party, who believe in white supremacy and keeping out asylum seekers.  Asylum is - and should be! - a human right, and the BNP are liars and thugs.

Don't you think racism is kind of stupid? I don't care where you're from, or what color your skin is, if you're a good person i.e. you are trying to support yourself, you're not out committing criminal acts, trying to move forward in life, I say that's a Good Thing and there should be more like you. Don't judge people based on their skin color/ethnicity, it's like in Matthew: "By their fruits ye shall know them." Multiculturalism sometimes takes the patience of saints, and if you don't have it, then remove yourself from the situation peacefully. Let the police deal with such problems, that's what they're there for, they get special training in dealing with people from different backgrounds, and they're usually big, and tall, and they have radios and cars, and stuff.\n\nAs far as welfare and stuff, if you feel that helping foreigners without resources is wrong, then write to your representatives and let them know. They can't and won't do anything until they hear from the voters. It's your country, vote!

Firstly, it's BNP, not BMP.\n\nSecondly, the BNP is an extreme rightwing party. Slightly similar to the US republicans, except it's even more racist.

Dude don't get me started again - I;ve only just recovered from my rant the other day !\n\nI quote "Great Britain is no longer a GREAT country, We cannot say anything without being called RACIST!!!!!!!!"\n\nThat's why - every time we do stand up for our selves (the select few with the balls - hats off Mr. N Griffin) we get branded racist biggots.\n\nWe try and try and try but it on;y ever gets covered in the media as a race hate crime !\n\nRead the Turner Diarys !\n\nIt is all going to kick off here sometime in the not too distant future you mark my words.\n\nPreston - Oldham - Bradford - Leeds - Burnley -- this was only the start of things to come back in 2001.\n\nIt will kick off - people will turn around and say " FCUK IT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"\n\nThe BNP are winning more and more seats every year because they are the only party that will stand for traditional BRITISH values !

They are also a political party who believe in loving the country that one resides in or leaving the country. Everyone should love their homeland. So no i do not dread the BNP (British National Party, Right wing UK Political Party) coming into power in the future, even if some of their policies are a little OTT.

Excellent question mate - I'm not racist in the slightest but if they want to live in this country they should abide by our rules and ways. It seems we are the minority these days - I'm sure the police would have something to say if I was walking down the high street with a balaclava on - the same way they'd kick off if i practiced my english ways in their country. \n\nA friend of mine works in a call centre and they have to use a diffent name for Chrismas because the word is seen as "offensive" to foreign clients!

Because the British govt is incredibly PC ... not to mention, they want their vote!! If you think ANYgovernment nowadays gives two hoots about its own indigenous population, think again!  It's votes .. these guys want to be re elected ...

no that doesn't make you racist...   especially if you are just showing pride in your own race and heritage.. your racist when you think a certain race is better, or think another race is inferior to yours, etc.

I read one yesterday and was shocked at how many people wrote "I'm not racist, but but I hate..." It made me really sad, usually you see enlightened, intelligent sensitive people (for the most part barring the jokers) then suddenly to see the opposite- a bunch of bigots, with prejudice and hate.\n\nI thought these discusions could help eliminate hatred based on skin colour or where your parents were born. I guess we humans still have further to go than I thought.\n\nI'm English but live in South Africa. Here everyone is working towards overcoming the divides. It seems that in the UK it is more acceptable to a be a racist. Theres so much hatred. I dont want to live like that. But I advocate freedom of speech, and that must aply to everyone. Im going to just read the questions that deal with issues not based on a persons skin colour. \n\nNo you are not alone in your frustration. I just hope peoples attitudes can change for acceptance rather than hate.

Unfortunately, I can't. It's a shame that people who are well old enough to vote, and see what the hell's wrong with this country refuse to do so. If the people of the older days were as lazy as some of these people, I'd still be in the plantation and both of us would be under the rule of the British.

I think everyone is racist to some degree. If they say they aren't they are hiding behind political correctness.\n\nI live in London and there is more diversity here than anywhere else I've been to. Because of the mix and the crowds, you tend to put up barriers of some sort. And if people piss you off in any way, you tend to blame it on something, and unfortunately the easiest one is race.\n\nHaving said that, I know it is easy to overgeneralise and once you get to know people on an individual level, I'll treat them as an individual.

Well, yes, obviously it was insulting. However, it was also fear, in that the current Government really do feel that the SNP are increasing their vote, why attach them so viciously if this is not the case.\n\nYou want to insult tham back, vote SNP, big time, all over Scotland, then vote again for a separate Parliment, without heed to the English.\n\nNow that will really piss them off.

yes yes yes!!! we are a british and we are allowing our heritage to be stripped away,pandering to a minority of whingers who have nothing to whinge about, if its so bad why are they here.i believe immigation should follow the lead of aus or usa...skilled people or people with money in the bank who can support themselves. they should have to pay for private health care and pensions as we do if we emigrate, maybe then the nhs wouldnt be so overloaded and we woudnt have to work to our graves supporting people who have no intention of being productive british citizens.going away from the point slightly i know but i also think there should be a return to the old system where if you havnt paid into the economy you cant take out..would put an end to all the phoneys and lazy layabouts on benefit. And before anyone accuses me of being racist i am 3rd generation mixed race. i have no problem with colour or immigration..just a problem me funding wasters and listening to do gooders talking out of their backsides. this country has no backbone and is going to the dogs. the laughing stock comment is highly accurate.

The BNP is a good party to blame when the immigrants dont get their own way in the UK. If they want to be a citizen then surely they want the government that comes with it? If NOT then they're surely just after what they get from the system and in that case they are not benificial for the UK people.\n\nThe best thing the BNP have said is that if they came into power they would give each immigrant enough money for the flight home... I think that's more than fair!
