I have often pointed out occasions on this Blog when the BNP have been appallingly treated by the liberal left and the political leftwingers. This does not represent any support for this group whatsoever but rather, is a matter of what I believe to be my natural evenhandedness.Indeed I am truly appalled that voters are deemed likely to vote in two MEPs under the BNP banner if the headlines in Saturday's Independent are to be trusted.
Just what is the matter with the voting public?
Why do they vote year after year for parties they cannot trust, with policies which they clearly do not want?
When things get desperate they then swing wildly to extremes!
To me this is utterly unfathomable when they have a mainstream party whose policies reflect the public views better than any other - UKIP! And of course, under Proportional Representation, they could do phenomenally well in the EU elections in June - but this could be endangered if protest votes are diverted to extremist groups such as the Greens or the BNP.
