90% of the BNP manifesto has a traditional left wing/socialist slant on it but they get labelled far right because of their policies on immigration and the fact they want to forceably re-patronise immigrants back to their countries of origin.

Labour deserve to get crushed in these elections, the promise of a referendum on the Lisbon treaty has been broken and they deserve the kicking they got. However it doesn't matter how hard you kick 'new' Labour they will just continue on regardless treating British democracy as a dictatorship and ignoring public opinion. Labour for example sets out to introduce a new road charging scheme in London and to give the illusion of democracy and that they listen to the public they setup public consultations but regards of what comes out of that consultation period they just go ahead an implement the scheme and to hell with any objections that people might have with it. The abuse of the parliament emergency act is something else that boils my piss, that law is their for what it says 'an emergency' - banning fox hunting isn't an emergency and just shows just how class prejudiced labour truly are at their core.

I was recently invited to the Welsh language Question Time ('Pawb a'i Farn') European Special in Pontardawe. Again, there was a lot of talk on Expenses and the BNP (there was a BNP party member in the back row). But the night confirmed that if I could vote I'd be voting for Plaid Cymru again. The Conservative there walked into a blunder at the start, Alun Cairns (AM), saying it was sad that the focus of the European Election would be on the MPs Expenses business when there are more important issues such as the economy and climate change, which is extremely hypocritical considering that these should then be big issues in the general election and yet his party leader was calling for an immediate election while every body's attention is on the MPs expenses. Eluned Morgan, the retiring Labour MEP said that she never used the word Wales in parliament as it reduced the chances of bills being passed, which didn't go down well with the audience (all naturally Welsh speaking), some later saying that if she did so she wasn't really representing Wales. The Lib Dems had the Lord Roger Roberts there, who was far older and wasn't as intense as the others, naturally. And Jill Evans (AM) who was pretty sound all the way through. Of course, like all Question Times, it was all a lot of talk without statistics or really getting the parties policies across, but I can say that it only confirmed that if I could be voting I'd be voting for Plaid, part of the Greens-European Free Alliance party, which are definitely more socialist than the ESP and also focus on devolution and green policies.
The English question time was far more interesting. I though Daniel Hannan was the best on that panel, but again there was little talk on actual policies, and a lot of 'who can say the best speech' on the BNP and the expenses business.
I have to agree that Daniel Hannan comes across very well. He was right about the BNP and why people say they could vote for them.
UKIP answering well again. If they sort out some of their policies they could become a serious political force. They seem to have the PR.
PR is all well and good, but if you have amateur and useless members then it's all for nothing.
well actaully, if UKIP had got a few more thousand votes, it would have kept Nick griffin out and have given UKIP 14 MEP's.
i recylced my vote invitation last weekend after thinking about that move for 30 seconds
Labour in total meltdown.
The Labour Party, by its very name, was intended to help the working class and the most vulnerable members of society. It has failed them abysmally and in the most disgraceful fashion, as child poverty, income differentials and the payment of tax by those on low incomes have soared, Labour MPs have concentrated on enriching themselves with public money.
The single worst feature of the Labour administration since 1997 has been the massive increase in working poverty, those in full-time employment who, at the end of each month, have still not earned enough to survive and are obliged to apply for government assistance in the form of a subsidy, tax credit or some other form of begging.
this is true also for the liberals in canada and spd in germany. terrible. it disturbs me. i am going to vote the left wing of es spd and former communists this year jsut because i dont know who to vote for
german labour class already pays the highes taxes in whole europe (low income tax level) - cant really vote for a party that doesnt support the labour class anymore
I come in peace, I didn't bring artillery. But I am pleading with you with tears in my eyes: If you F___ with me, I'll kill you all.

Heath took us in, thatcher had a change of heart and wanted us out.
Under labour, we have been rapidly converging into this new european superstate.
