Are the BNP falling apart?
The Far right party seem to be having a few 'difficulties' at the moment...
// However, the far-right party's campaign has been beset by problems, and it appears to be floundering in the polls. Internal criticism over Nick Griffin's leadership came to a head earlier this month when publicity director Mark Collett was arrested on suspicion of threatening to kill him.
In Stoke, the party's number two target, Alby Walker, who led the BNP on the local council for four years, is standing as an independent in the general election.
Meanwhile Griffin, who is standing in Barking, has been forced to change the BNP's whites-only membership policy following a legal battle with the Equalities and Human Rights Commission. Last week the Electoral Commission announced it was launching a formal investigation into the party's 2008 accounts.
These difficulties appear to have hit the party's ability to stand candidates in next month's local elections. //

Is UKiP a better option?

Are you saying that the BNP was ever an option??
I would vote UKIP if I wanted this country destroyed, I will keep saying this look at the policies taking this country out of the EEC would destroy it.
We should never have gone in but leaving now would be madness - It is populist but why do you think that none of the major parties are advocating leaving.

To be honest I was not aware they HAD a campaign.
I have to say ever since Nick Griffin appeared on Question Time I have hardly heard a squek out of the BNP.
Maybe the "press" have decided the best approach for the BNP is to not saying anything about them and hope they go away.
It seems to be working.

davethedog It has been estimated that MEPs have automatic expenses which make our MPs expenses look like petty cash. If Brussels has its way all MPs in all the countries will be paid the same as MEPs . They argue that in that way equality is maintained throughout the EU. Could that be the reason why none of the main parties want to leave the EU ?
