Seems like the relatives have decided to find a real voice in their own political party.
I wonder if it will really work? Might be intersting though.:thumbsup:

I'd be surprised if it does work.
Single issue parties make a lot of 'son-and-dance' about their favourite topic but never seem to have any substantial policies on any other subject and hence fail to achieve anything.

They may well pick up protest votes, although I'm not sure how much notice the main parties take of protest votes. I suspect a sizeable percentage of people who vote for the BNP are actually voting in favour of tighter immigration controls etc (as opposed to BNP policies per se), and the government don't seem to be taking much notice. :suspect:

I saw this speech on TV Reid said {
'We have to get away from this daft so-called politically correct
notion that anybody who wants to talk about immigration is
somehow a racist. That isn't the case}.
So someone in Governmenthas either taken notice of the publics concern for tighter immigration rules.
I don’t know if your right about people leaning towarsd BNP strictly for that purpose or not.

I hope they defeat Prescott, Tony Blair seems incapable of getting rid of him.

What about George Galloway and the Respect party?

Exactly, these kinds of parties are hellbent on correcting one thing in society and have little thought about what to do about anything else.

What would these 'families of dead soldiers' do if elected? Absolute joke and a waste of time.
