[Politics] Hope not hate

A party political broadcast on behalf of not-the-BNP ...



"In the upcoming elections in the UK, the far-right party the BNP are pushing for an unprecedented number of seats, and are possibly going to win some of them. They need 8% of the vote. This means that the more people that vote in the elections, the less chance the fascist BNP have of getting in.
Please make sure you are registered for the June 4th elections.
Please vote - for any party, except the BNP.
Please don't let them get in because of apathy.
Here is some information about Nick Griffin, the leader of the party - http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/the-real-bnp/Profile-of-Nick-Griffin.php

Here is some more information on the BNP - http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/the-real-bnp/

Some of you have LJ's and other blogs that are read by a lot of people. Please - it takes a few minutes only to just copy and paste this post into your own blog and make sure the message gets out. It doesn't take long to vote, and I'm not asking you to vote for any particular party that you might not have a high opinion of at the moment. Just vote for someone and stop the BNP."




Proviso - personally, I'm not that keen on the Christian Party, though - they may not be the BNP, but they've got a fairly high proportion of policies that I find unpalatable, even so.

Registered to vote for Sweden in this EU election (and I have, in fact, cast my vote, but I shARRRRRRn't tell you for who I voted, avast, avast, landlubber). If I hadn't, I would've voted for one of the many fine non-BNP alternatives, as they are truly Not My Party.

They sent a canvasser around yesterday, thankfully both me and my wife were unable to attend the canvassing, as that may, possibly, have ended up with a smack in the face (note to BNP canvassers, speaking ill of immigrants in a household that is 100% immigrant is Not The Smartest Thing In The World).

Strictly speaking, I think all of the pets are born in Britain, but they're not allowed to vote (I know at least two were born in that very house).
