The BNP 1. Reflections on the European Elections

As I write many nationalists are celebrating the fact that the BNP has secured itself their first seats in the European Parliament. It has been said that the BNP is now a force to be reckoned with. But despite the predictable hysteria of the media there has been no considerable upsurge in BNP support, rather the seats were gained because of the collapse of the labour vote. With the expenses scandal and the recession the BNP should have been well placed to capitalise upon this but it didn't. Rather the BNP has hit a glass ceiling. In my next series of posts I will analyse, just what is wrong with the BNP, why it cannot be reformed and why a new movement is desperately needed.
