Thread Name: BS: So why has the BNP gained votes?
Subject: RE: BS: So why has the BNP gained votes?
I think that there are reasons for the relative firmness in the BNP vote that are not within the remit of FaF. The purpose of FaF although generally to oppose fascism and hence the BNP is more specifically to prevent fascists and so the BNP from taking "ownership" (ghastly modern misuse of that word) of traditional folk arts in England and/or the UK. The purpose of this thread is to discuss the (absolute or relative) rise in the BNP vote which is a much broader question.
