Subject: RE: BS: So why has the BNP gained votes?
Emma B. Re. your link to the news report on Robert West. Note the mysoginistic/chauvinistic manner in which he dismisses the idea of women working. His views are a virtual echo of third reich policy towards women.

"He polled 941 votes representing 2.74% of the total votes cast" It's pretty obvious that the BNP aren't gaining votes, and that their constitutional facade isn't impressing anyone. West's showing in Norwich in fact showed him to be nothing more than one of the monster raving loony fringe candidates.

This should be good news, indeed it is. However, it's only a matter of time before Griffin and Co realise they're not going to get anywhere via the democratic process. That I think is when they'll take the fight back out onto the streets.
