Why Nationalism Needs to Grow Up!

For many years now I've been a firm believer in moderate nationalism.Like many sensible people I would like to see with drawl from the EU,an end to mass immigration and the return of our sovereignty.Back in 2005 I decided to vote BNP and I have done in the recent Euro and General elections.Like a lot of people I fell for the spin,I believed the BNP had moved on and had ditched all the toxic poison it used to preach.I thought the BNP had evolved into a moderate nationalist party.How wrong I was!
Lets face it the BNP seemed to be on a roll.They had a GLA member,they almost had the Barking council and they had two MEPS elected in 2009.So what's gone wrong for the BNP and why does nationalist politics always fall on it's arse in this country?

Marine LePen leading the way!


When you look at parties in Europe they are in the fast lane while the BNP is still struggling to find first gear.Parties like the Front National or the Dutch PVV have enjoyed unprecedented success.They are led by dynamic personalities that have outstanding leadership qualities.Since Marine LePen took over the Front from her father she has transformed it into a moderate forward thinking party that now appeals to a wider audience,many of whom would never have contemplated voting FN before.The anti semitism has been consigned to the dustbin and now there is a message of culture not colour.Even election posters feature members from the ethnic minorities.European nationalism is successful because they have realised that preaching race hate,anti semitism and homophobia is an absolute turn off for voters.Many people have Grandparents that remember what happened the last time a racial nationalist party was given power and they do not want this kind of politics ever again.European nationalists focus on preserving freedom,democracy,culture and sovereignty.Like the west fought fascism and nazisim over 60 years ago now they have rallied the people to stand up to islamo fascism.The creeping tentacles of Islam stretches over every part of our society it is like a slow gradual process over transformation.The goal of every islamist is to create a Eurabia and they are being free to carry out their mission because the west is shackled by political correctness.Even if Marine does not win the Presidency she will come a close second and the ruling government will be forced to take more radical action against mass immigration and Islam.The fact she is female and is a crusader for womens rights also wins her a massive voting block which has never been possible when her father was leader.They will become a very powerful force in French politics!

The reason the BNP fails to make a break through is due to a few very important reasons.Since 1999 it has been led by Nick Griffin a man that has been banged up for inciting racial hatred,a man that was very keen on holocaust denial and for a long time was involved with the extreme racial nationalist party the National Front.How on earth can a party led  by a man with this background be expected to be taken seriously by the electorate?Oh and don't forget his friendship with KKK wizard David Duke or his fund raising meeting with despot Colonel Gaddafi.The man is a pariah he is treated with contempt by many including most of his own party.So what do the last remaining BNP members do to try and oust this tin pot dictator?Put up another neo nazi to contest the leadership.Yes Richard Edmonds can you believe it.Another holocaust denying white supremacist.Are these dickheads on a suicide mission or what?

Nick Griffin the pariah of British Politics


Many of the more fanatical BNP members cannot seem to grasp the fact that the electorate does not actually want ethno/racial nationalism.It is not a vote winner and it never will be.All the evidence is there it's obvious to anyone with even the most minimal intelligence.If the British people wanted ethno nationalism don't you think the BNP would have had MP S in Westminster by now.In the last council elections they where wiped out completely and rejected by the electorate.If you asked an ordinary person what he thought of ethnic nationalism it would probably conjure up images of a police state putting people into concentration camps,the state checking everyones ancestry to see if they are pure enough to be British and a system of apartheid.I bet you that's what a lot of people think of this kind of politics.What would they do send everyone to racial awareness centres for racial profiling ,start measuring noses skulls and take DNA from us.It is the politics of the madhouse.Ethno nationalism only exists in the heads of dreamers,it's pure fantasy and totally unworkable.But no matter how much evidence you show these fools,they just don't want to hear it.They believe everything their leader tells them.You can't debate with these people.They don't want to hear new ideas,their brains shut down to constructive criticism.They would rather cling on to their obsessive ideology of race hate and anti semetic conspiracies instead of learning new ideas and trying something new.It is a bit like going to a car dealership and buying a car.You go in with a figure of £5 grand and you want a 5 door hatch that is suitable for the needs of your family.You tell the salesman your needs and what you want from your new car.So instead for showing you the car you actually want to buy he takes you to the 20 grand Mercedes Sports car.He waffles on for two hours telling you how fast it goes,shows you the luxurious interior leather,the air con and the alloy wheels.Two hours passes your pissed off,you feel small,you feel poor because there's no way you can afford this extravagance and what really pisses you off is the salesmen did not listen to you!This is the point I'm trying to make about the BNP and it's small band of fanatical followers,they don't actually take the trouble to find out what people actually want and will vote for.They are arrogant,they think they know what's best for us.They cling on to the hope that one day the people will wake up and they will turn to ethnic nationalism."When the crises comes the people will awaken and the British people will take back their nation and our kin will be saved."This is the type of shit that appears on internet forums on a daily basis.They try telling us they've changed and then they post idiotic comments on Facebook and internet forums.

The typical racial nationalist clings to his ideology like a brain dead zombie  


The BNP can only begin to grow again if it is prepared to make radical changes.The changes that need to be made would seriously piss off the hardliners like Edmonds but if the BNP is serious about getting elected and does genuinely care about this country then it must reform.I propose kicking out every single known holocaust denier and outright neo nazi.A public statement should be made about the holocaust.Tell the public the party thinks it was a terrible tragedy and it really did happen.Welcome ethnic minorities to join in helping the cause as long as they've embraced the British way of life and they are good people there should be no problem.Promote the preservation of our way of life and culture rather than focusing on race.Ditch all the zionist conspiracy crap.It is political suicide to keep preaching this nonsense.Open discussion and debate should be freely encouraged.People should not be made to feel like a trouble maker because they've criticised  a party policy.Leadership elections should automatically be held every four years or if the membership holds a vote of no confidence.By doing this it shows the electorate the BNP really does believe in democratic values.If the party can't be run democratically then why should the electorate trust it to run the country.
Just making these few simple changes the BNP could start to see a rise in confidence and popularity.Let the extremists go and form their own little nazi party.If they choose to carry on as an ethno/racial nationalist party then they will go back to being a small fringe party of nutters.

I know this will be too hard for many hardline BNP supporters to stomach.No doubt they will think I'm a "red" or a traitor for daring to write this article.These people have got to face the facts,they have got to start listening and divorce themselves from this fantasy land they live in.This is not 1930's Germany this is modern 2011 Britain wake up smell the coffee!

AV A LOUSY ALTERNATIVE!


As well as voting in local elections on May 5th we now have the opportunity to vote in a referendum to change our voting system from the old First Past the Post system to the Alternative Vote system.Many people including various celebrities are hailing AV as some exciting new concept that will make our voting system more democratic and more accountable to the people.Well don't get too excited cause AV aint all  it's cracked up to be in fact it's a lousy offering from the coalition government to keep the LibDems happy.The voting referendum was offered to Nick Clegg as part of a sweetner to join the coalition government.Of course the Lib Dems preferred to have Proportional Representation but have settled with a lousy piece meal offering in the form of AV.The tories will never offer Proportional Representation to a referendum because this would mean TRUE democracy to the British people.It would mean every political persuasion across the spectrum would have a voice and proper representation.It would also mean for the very first time in history other parties  would have to work together in Westminster with the established LIB/LAB/CON parties.

The First Past The Post system has been used in Britain for over well over a 100 years and ever since the second world war we've only ever known Labour or Conservative governments.The system works by one person one vote ,the candidate with the most votes gets elected.It's very simple and easy to understand.
AV is not so straight forward and can come across as a little confusing.The voter is handed a ballot sheet with a list of candidates and places his/her vote in order of preference for each of the candidates listed until they either run out of candidates or don't care too much for the rest of the line up.On the first round of voting if the a candidate wins over a 50% majority then the winning candidate is duly elected.If there is no candidate with over 50% clear majority then the candidate with the lowest vote count is eliminated and a second round of voting commences.The previous votes for second preference candidates are redistributed and this process is repeated until a winner emerges.This process is not only lengthy but very costly to implement.It is estimated that AV would cost £250 million!A very large sum of money for a system that won't deliver real democracy!
The main benefactors from AV would be the Liberal Democrats and the biggest losers would be the smaller parties like UKIP or the BNP.A mock election was recently trialled on BBC Radio 5 Live and the BNP was knocked out in the first round and UKIP was knocked out in the third round.Supporters in both the Yes and No camps have been using the BNP as a bogeyman to scare people.The true reality is the BNP suffer badly under both voting systems,so to use this as a means of winning support is severely misleading!   

Here is the 2010 General election results under First Past The Post

Con    Lab   LibDem  SNP   PC  Green  UKIP  BNP
307     258      57          6       3        1         0         0

2010 General Election results under AV

Con    Lab   LibDem  SNP   PC  Green  UKIP  BNP
281     262      79          5       3        1         0         0

As you can see from the results above AV would return more MPs for the LibDem's.

The referendum we really should be having is a vote for Proportional Representation.This would give a better representation in parliament of all political persuasions.
Let's now take a look at what our parliament would look like if the 2010 General Election was conducted under the PR voting system

Con    Lab   LibDem  SNP   PC  Green  UKIP  BNP
235     189      150        11      4       7         20     12

Proportional representation is far more advantageous towards smaller parties and gives a more balanced parliament with all views represented.MP's would have to work a lot harder and would be forced to make alliances with smaller parties to get bills voted through.Instead of tactical voting to keep Labour out,people could for the very first time vote for what they really believe in.The wasted vote would become a thing of the past!

So what should we do on May 5th?Do we vote yes to AV in the hope that it could be a spring board to PR.Do we vote no and keep First Past the Post because it's better the devil you know or do you abstain altogether as the outcome will make no difference to who holds the reins of power.
