What do you reckon the Queen would do if the BNP did get voted in? Because she, ultimately, has the final say so...

Good call had forgotten about that!!!
Think she would go along with it only to appease the voters though as the royals aint exactly popular like they used to be

LC - Agree wholeheartedly with your post. The time I was most interested in politics was when I was still at school (aged 13 at the time of the 79 election), that was when I made the decision about which party I supported...based purely on what I thought at that age was right or wrong for the country and the people, my views have changed little in almost 30 years.
Anything that could get young people interested in politics would have to be seen as worthwhile, after all they will be running it when I am sat in my bath chair on the prom dribbling ice cream down my cardigan!

I know, but not that long ago it was laughable to suggest that the BNP would get any local councillors - yet they now have councillors and from this NSC poll, they'd come third in an election, ahead of the lib dems...
Just a thought.

I was watching Ali G Indahouse the other night. How Gordon Brown could do with that film fiction becoming political fact and turning around his 20-odd point deficit in the polls. Sasha Baron Cohen to be the first Jewish PM since Disraeli?

Labour

Conservative

You wouldn't guess that from the posts on this thread though
It's simply because Tory voters know they're right, and no amount of reasoned argument or debate will ever change a left wing voters mind, so Tory voters can't be arsed to air their opinions because all they ever get back in response is Thatcher this and Thatcher that.

If the BNP got voted in, you be ensured that there wa a strong royalist public following backing them, the right do love their queen.
Even if she was a rabid leftie - which she isn't - she would have to go along with the electorate.
Interestingly if you go back to the Golden age of fascism, in the 30's
The German and Italian kings chose Hitler, Mussolini and the National Socialists for the stability of the country, even though they both came second in their elections, and of course the fact that they represented nearly everything kings believed in, whilst the Communists and Socialists represented everything they hated.
German king?
Hitler was chosen by the German president, Paul von Hindenburg. It's true that the Nazis finished second (and in fact, the vote was falling) but it's not true to say that Hindenburg was a sympathiser - in fact, like many of the German ruling class, he loathed Hitler and the Nazi party.

Not as much as he hated the Communists and Socialists? I forgot the King was removed in 1918.
