No � For many reasons: a) they�ve become complacent and smugly corrupted after three terms in office, b) the House of Commons majority they hold is made up of tame, well whipped MP�s (Slight recent rebellions aside) and have been used to stifle reasoned debate and force through ill-conceived legislation, c) the stupidity and lies behind the war, d) the economy is about to fold, e) our society cannot afford to continue Labours path of punishing those who �play by the rules�, while rewarding those who don�t.
And lastly, Gordon Brown has this really irritating habit of sucking in his bottom lip when speaking that just gets on my ****!

An easily found and verifiable list of the credentials of high up members of the BNP certainly appears to support your contention that they're a sane bunch to run the country...
* Tony Lecomber was jailed for possessing explosives in 1985 and for assault in 1991, when he almost killed a man on the London Underground. He was Nick Griffin's key deputy in the party from 1999 until January 2006.
* Kevin Scott, the BNP's North East regional organiser[20], has two convictions for assault and using threatening words and behaviour.[ http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/in_depth/program mes/2001/bnp_special/membership/organisers/kevin_scott.s tm]
* Joe Owens, a BNP candidate in Merseyside and former bodyguard to Nick Griffin, He has served eight months in prison for sending razor blades in the post to Jewish people and another term for carrying CS gas and knuckledusters.[21]
* Tony Wentworth, BNP student organiser, was convicted alongside Mr Owens for assaulting demonstrators at an anti-BNP event in 2003.[22].
* Jason Douglas, a BNP candidate in the 2004 London local elections, is a convicted football hooligan.[23]
* Brian Turner, a Burnley BNP councillor, is a convicted wife-beater.[24]

Of course, there's no-one with convictions in any other party is there?
These are good party people who don't mind admitting they've made mistakes. Unlike some politicians who find it appropriate to use rent boys and homosexuals. And others who have a history of treason and betraying their country.
VOTE BNP.
NO I wont. Reasons
Which country in Europe pays the most for petrol and gas
Who has presided over 100% increase in poll tax since coming to power.
Who is presiding over the cleanliness and efficiency of our hospitals.
Who was not prepared for foot and mouth and is not prepared for avian flue
Who has lost control over immigration
Who took us into Afghanisatn and Iraq whilst decreasing the level of armed forces
Who is introducing the nanny state
Who has scottish MPs passing one set of laws in this country whilst the Scottish Parliment is doing the exact opposite.
I could go on and on but life gets tedious dont it!
However, I am sorry to say if I had a straight choice between New Labour and BNP then New Labour wins everytime
I was interested to see what people would say, and I'm surprised! I thought I would get a rash of people saying what a wonderful job Labour has done! Personally I hate the Labour party and Tony Blair with a passion one can only dream of, and to see that I'm not alone makes me very happy, and gives me hope that we may see the back of them come the next election. Much as I disapprove of Immigrants, I would not resort to voting BNP, because whilst they are on the face of it trying to save our country, there are some members that are little removed from the KKK and that is too far out!
I agree with madein1978 although I don't disaprove of immigration per se, I don't like the way it has got way out of hand (take note of Powell, it has all come into fruition!!!!).
Luckily I can say with hand on heart that I never voted Labour in the first place, & have detested Blair & his cronies since day one. When he first got in I was one of those who traipsed off down the shops & joined in with the sullen conversation.
I have no idea if I will be voting at all actually. As a neighbour of mine recently said 'one of 'em will get in & it is bound to be terrible!'.
I haven't decided yet and apologise for drifting off the point, but I thought some of you could do with a history of immigration into this country.
Five thousand years ago during the Neolithic period, it is estimated there were only 3000 people living in Britain.
The Celts may have developed from these original people, or may themselves have been immigrants. What is certain, is every other group of people from the Romans, Anglo Saxons, Normans etc were immigrants.
The following site is very interesting and shows immigration as a very typical British phenomenon.
http://www.sovereignty.org.uk/features/articles/immig.html
Good point on immigration Drusilla! You take out the celts, scots, the irish, the ancestors in vikings, the romans, anglo saxons, normans, even second and other ethnic minorities living here and suddenly we all become immigrants!
I do not fancy seeing Labour serving another term. I agree in principal with stevie_c2it and Big Al1st on why I wouldn't vote Labour next term.
But the question remains what are the alternatives? BNP for me is out of question. David Cameron has yet to convince me with his policies.
-- answer removed --
I'm not too young to remember what the Tories were like, and all I can say to that is, they were no worse than the bunch of ***** we've got now, in fact Labour might be worse, they've destroyed the NHS and they've naused up our economy, regardless of what (pause to tuck in lower lip) Gordon Brown says. Yes the tories privatised the buses and the railways, but Labour have carried it on and privatised everything else. So much has happened over the last 8 years with Labour I'm struggling to rhyme it all off, theres so many things they done against the british public. Even that big white elephant in Greenwich, the Millenium Dome was their doing. Pippa, totally agree, Enoch Powell got it bang on!
