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.

Slimebeast, ... we actually live here so we know if the BNP is good for this country. If I know anything about politics it's that BNP is a big fat NO.

I guess it varies from region to region. My area hasn't being effected by immigration that much, the city has but my specific region (not sure why) hasn't. But, for some people there lives have been dramatically effected and suffered at the hands of overpopulation in certain areas.

I read an article a few weeks ago in the Guardian that said the BNP did best in areas of high poverty rather than of high immigration...

Slimebeast, the BNP are socialists too but the immigration policies are the ones that get all the attention.

Sometimes you will find (often in my region) they are the same thing. Now i'm not saying that immigrants are poor at all, just that your average Joe person probably isn't as wealthy as perhaps somebody who has grown up within the country.

My 6 year old used my postal vote for lib dem.

I personally don't care who gets in. They're all a bunch of lying tossers out to line their own pockets.
