George, I consider your attempt to miminize what you euphemistically call the "not so good parts" of the BNP is shameful.

The BNP is a RACIST organization that is aligned with other racist organizations worldwide.

Have you not watched this YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04QolIvfQEw "Griffin + KKK Terrorist" and read this summary:

"BNP chairman Nick Griffin speaks to an audience of American Nationalists alongside convicted fraudster David Duke of the blatantly Nazi American terrorist group the KKK, who have been responsible for dozens of savage killings and hate crimes in the USA.

In his speech Nick Griffin confirms that BNP strategy is to re-package and "sell" BNP ideas to British voters. Nick Griffin confirms that, instead of using traditional far-right slogans about terror, hate, authoritarianism and violence, the new BNP strategy is to use "saleable words" like "freedom, security, identity, democracy" instead, while reassuring his (small) pro-KKK audience that the BNP's secret and real beliefs are still "your ideas too".

Nick Griffin admits that the long-term BNP goal of forcibly expelling all non-White Britons from the their homes is, for the time being, best served by "being rather more subtle" - because in the short-term, the BNP being HONEST about their real beliefs would get his party "absolutely nowhere". BNP chairman Nick Griffin dreams of a day when the BNP will "control the British broadcasting media", and when British people will (as a result) have been tricked into electing the BNP. In other words BNP chairman Nick Griffin dreams of a day when HE will control the British media, and when British people will have been tricked into electing HIM."

Even if it were true-and I don't think it is-that "none of the other parties had anything covering housing, benefit, childcare and employment and still don't", to align yourself with such a hate full party is beyond naivete, and selfishness.

If you align yourself with racists, and support what they are doing, than you are a racist.
