chairdriver Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 To be fair, it shows the signs of a healthy democracy. And we're in a time of crisis, so more extreme parties will do better than usual.
Nicktendo Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I can't describe how fucking angry I am at the 120,000 retards living in my local area. I'm still shaking with anger. I can't find words. :mad:
gaggle64 Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 To be fair, it shows the signs of a healthy democracy. There is absolutely nothing healthy about the BNP.
Haden Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I would have voted Labour but was on holiday looks like they didn't need my vote oh wait! lol
Haden Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 So how many people voted for BNP over 100,000? Thats massive! Something Tories will have to think about when they get in power next year.
Slaggis Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) There is absolutely nothing healthy about the BNP. He's right though, in times of crisis (Like now with the economic downturn) they swoop in and pick up votes. It's ridiculous how people manage to fall for all their bullshit. Actually sickens me how people think voting for them is a good descision. Edited June 7, 2009 by Slaggis
Dan_Dare Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Well colour me disgusted with my fellow countymen. Fuck. We jsut voted in a fucking fascist. A fascist. In 2009. Jesus Fucking Christ. I want to emigrate.

I want to emigrate. Was going to be picky and say technically the BNP is not a fascist party I'm pretty sure they are far right but not fascist as fascist are quite specific. However after doing a bit of research on the guy he seems to be part of the National Front! So I guess he could well be Fascist.

I want to emigrate. Suddenly the south doesn't look quite so bad, eh? On a more serious note, the BNP and the 120,000 people who voted for them can go fuck themselves. Idiots. Stupid, small minded idiots. What's annoying is that the BNP voters are concentrated, whilst Green/Lib Dem's are more dispersed - the Greens, for example, got a higher percentage of the vote, but no seats!

Haden Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Could BNP win two seats? I haven't been following this closley but this is worrying is it not? Nick Griffin Asked about his own chances of winning another seat in the North West region, he says it is "too close to call".
Dyson Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 So here's something if you care about the BNP thing http://action.hopenothate.org.uk/page/s/notinmyname

Nick Griffin Asked about his own chances of winning another seat in the North West region, he says it is "too close to call". This is worrying indeed. However, I just saw this on the BBC website, and Kudos to the Tories: "EURO ELECTIONS: Tories vow to 'expose what the BNP believes in' after the BNP wins first seat" EDIT: Just saw this, too - lol: "EURO ELECTIONS: BNP leader says his party won because the media ignores problems of 'indigenous people'" Edited June 7, 2009 by The fish
chairdriver Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 There is absolutely nothing healthy about the BNP. No, but it's healthy that people can vote for what they belief in (no matter how awful it is).
Nicktendo Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Just to make it clear, It was 120,000 BNP votes in Yorkshire and the Humber. The total may well be over 1 million by the time all the results come in.
Slaggis Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 No, but it's healthy that people can vote for what they belief in (no matter how awful it is). But the fact they believe in what the BNP belives in is amazingly unhealthy for the majority of seemingly sane people living in the UK.
The fish Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 No, but it's healthy that people can vote for what they belief in (no matter how awful it is). I'd wager that most of those votes are from people who don't actually believe what the BNP truly do.
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 No, but it's healthy that people can vote for what they belief in (no matter how awful it is). In that sense, you're right. I guess it does still ensure that...freedom of speech is still being upheld. Still, saying that, you yourself know that it is awful, but I never thought anyone was going to jump on you as some kind of BNP-lover of some kind. I'd wager that most of those votes are from people who don't actually believe what the BNP truly do. I'd wager the opposite. There are some horrible, horrible people out there.

I'm not a BNP lover (considering they're pretty fucking disgustingly racist and homophobic), but I'm a democracy-lover.

Sparko Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 To be fair, it shows the signs of a healthy democracy. And we're in a time of crisis, so more extreme parties will do better than usual. Although how healthy is it to vote in a party who call homosexuals 'AIDS monkeys' and deny that the holocaust happened? EDIT: I see from an earlier post that you clarified what you meant, sorry I misinterpreted what you were saying!

EDIT: I see from an earlier post that you clarified what you meant, sorry I misinterpreted what you were saying! I'm sorry but I actually just cracked up reading that! I'm not saying I agree, quite the opposite, the BNP are a bunch of twats, everyone (well obviously not) knows that, but I've never heard anyone say that and it just had me in stitches. Personally... well I didn't vote, forgot all about it until I was driving to work and saw a sign for a polling station, by that time it was too late. I don't actually know who I would've voted for anyway since I never paid any attention to the policies.

I'm actually really glad I stayed up to watch this. What an eye-opener.
