If I could, I would have voted BNP for the sake of Great Britain.

Britons is one of my favorite civs in Age of Empires II.

I hope the conservatives win. Plus I hope the Green party don't manage to get into the parliament.

The BNP would not be good for Britain. They would run our country into an even worse situation than it is already in. We need a serious party. The BNP don't have a clue how to run the country, all they care about is kicking immigrants out.

If they ever got in I would move abroad before the riots start. And while I'm standing at the ferry port in Dover I will wish them luck with their isolationist economy with such a huge deficit at hand and their newly drastically understaffed health service.

I wouldn't want them in complete power. But parties can have important influence on key issues without getting into the government.

Let's imagine the BNP got 15%, it would be seen as a huge protest by the people against immigration and it's consequences. Kinda like Pia Kjersgaard and her party in Denmark in the last decade. Denmark straigtened up their immigration policies immensily after their nationalist party got big (they're a lot milder than BNP though).

 

Don't worry, I understand the concept of a pressure party.

Their only serious policy is their immigration policy, and quite frankly that policy batshit insane, it wouldn't work. Quite frankly, if people were sick of immigration I would hope they would vote UKIP, at least their immigration policies are somewhat rational yet effective.
