    A majority of people back the British National Party’s policies, according to a new poll.

    But the YouGov survey found that many people disown the policies once they are associated with the BNP.

    The poll, commissioned by Sky News, comes ahead of local elections next week when there are fears the BNP could make an electoral breakthrough.

    It found that 59% of people supported a halt to all further immigration to the UK – one of the BNP’s main pledges – when they were not told of the far-right group’s association with the policy.
    Among those who were told that it was a BNP commitment, support for the policy was only 48%

    And 52% of those who took part in the survey agreed that all immigrants should be denied the right to bring further members of their family into this country. But when told it was a BNP policy, support fell by 9%.

    Overall there was 55% support for BNP policies until people were informed of the party’s stance, when backing dropped to 49 per cent. More than a third of people, 37%, said they would seriously consider voting for the BNP’s policies in an election. But identifying the BNP with the policies caused support to fall by 17%

    Large majorities dismissed two of the BNP’s most hardline ideas. Some 68 per cent refused to support the stance that non-white British citizens are inherently less British than white people. And 52% were opposed to encouraging immigrants and their families to leave Britain.

    Peter Kellner, chairman of YouGov, commented: “The results demonstrate that the BNP is tapping into some widely-held views, but that the party suffers from a negative image. If the BNP were able to erase this view, it could make significant gains in the upcoming local elections. This may explain what is happening in certain localities where the BNP now polls strongly.”

    The poll was carried out between April 21 and 24. Around 900 people were asked if they supported policies without any mention of the BNP, while 941 were told that they were BNP commitments.

    Why doesnt the government implement the wishes of the masses? Or is it time the old gang parties were ditched?

    The old gang have gone walk about over the past ten years or more, roll up roll up, let bnp policy to take charge of our future, THATS WHAT WE WANT!

    I think the BNP are a bunch of FASCISTS!!!

    Political movements always present themselves in ways that attract support through making themselves sound appealing and benign.

    Communist governments were masters of this – talking about peoples’ this and peoples’ that while their dictatorial elites built themselves a state within a state – Ceaucescu’s Romania was the prime example – villages demolished and people housed in concrete tenements while Ceaucescu built himself marbled palaces.

    So the BNP presents itself as the voice of reason in the same way.
    It does look like we are now entering the post-multicultural era (courtesy of radical islamists) and this fragmentation of European society has to be handled very carefully to preserve what goodwill we can.

    What worries me most about information taken from “surveys” is that they never tell you how many people took part, apparently 80 % of people here think the word “fascists” is over used ….mmmmh :wink:

    If moderate politics fail I guess we’re all susceptible to ‘flipping’ to extremism, whether of a left, right or religious variety. That’s how totalitarians get enough support to gain power.

    If most people supported the BNP – they’d be in power.

    Wishes of the masses- 2/3rds of people against the mainstay of BNP philosophy. Wishes of the masses indeed

    Ugo your banner shows just how idiotic you skinheads are. The Serbs fought against the Nazis in WWII and part of the hatred between Serbs and Croats is that the Croats supported the Nazis. But now you have young Serbian idiots worshipping Hitler. The same thing is happening in Russia too, the country that lost the most lives in WWII.

    I think the reason skinheads shave their heads is because they are waiting for their lobotomies. Something must be wrong with their heads. Bunch of knuckle-dragging morons.
