i hope other parties draw this lesson from BNP success: constituents have not abandoned the nation-state though some political and intellectual circles have undermined it for decades. large numbers still value national allegiances as the primary means of ensuring their security and freedom. an appreciable number of these people are now willing to ally themselves with racist organizations.

mainstream parties are boosting the appeal of BNP by ignoring their constituents' complaints. there are plenty of rational and sober critiques to be made of current UK immigration, EU, and assimilation policies that do not throw vile racism into the mix. politicians should address those concerns before the issue becomes so desperate that more citizens justify supporting racist parties.
