Well Richard I for one look at those clowns in Westminster and Edinburgh and ask myself "Who do they think they are representing?"
MPs are mostly lawyers or Politics graduates these days, and they are parachuted into whatever constituency it looks like they might have the best chance to win.
They have no local connections in most cases, and only buy or rent a home in the constituency to make it look good. Their connection with their constituents is at best tenuous, and at worst laughably absent.
This is why people look for alternative parties to vote for, and the BNP knows this, so they have re-branded themselves in a softer image in order to garner these malcontent votes.
It is up to the main parties to redress the balance, and it is up to all of us to remind people of the real ethos behind the BNP.
They are a Neo Nazi party with racist underpinnings, with a large proportion of it's members having criminal records.
Would these same disenfranchised voters vote for the KKK?
I think not, and there's nothing to choose between them from where I sit!
