Chili...sorry to be so late in answering you but I had to take my pet raccoon to the Vets for his monthly hepatitis injections.
I have been castigated on AB in the past for calling UKIP the Far Right, even though they snuggle up to their far right bedfellows in Brussels. I have bowed to the majority regarding the exact status of UKIP, so I am presuming that you must mean the BNP in your reference to the ballot box. I seriously doubt that anybody here on AB is going to admit to being a BNP supporter, so this may be a one-sided debate.
So, perhaps you mean that the BNP vote will be up next May ? Hardly a problem, as they are a political non-entity and play no part in our Parliamentary process. Nick Griffin effectively signed the death warrant for the BNP when he appeared on Question Time. The EDL are just an uneducated and ill assembled mob, so it can't be them that you mean, and don't field any candidates at Elections.
So again, to refer back to UKIP, they only have one policy and that is to get Britain out of Europe politically, and the IS are a quarrel in a far away country between people of whom we know little, and the child abuse that has gone on against girls in Rotherham, and against boys in Rochdale appears to fall outside of the remit of UKIP as well !
Taking my tongue firmly out of my cheek, I have warned about the rise of the FR in Britain, and in Europe in general for a long time. There has never been a time since 1945 where the FR have posed such a threat to democracy, and we should be taking that threat very seriously indeed.
Hitler managed to make the German people think, in their millions, that the Jews were less than human, thus making it easier to persecute them. We appear to be on the road to the same situation here in Britain, but instead of Jews, its just about anybody who isn't white enough, or Anglo-Saxon enough.
