Voting BNP

[Commander]

Can the mods not see who has voted yes, and stick their names up? It would be interesting to see which part of the gene pool they crawled out of - or whether some people have more than one account!

Would be a bit harsh as it is supposed to be an anonymous poll! Would be interesting to see though, I reckon there would be a few surprises there.

 

[Scoffers]

I suspect also, that there is a big difference in ticking a box in a "secret" poll to what someone would actually do in an election.

Folks can cause a stir by voting on here, but that doesnt mean they'd actually do it (I hope!!)

 

[Guinness Boy]

Not exactly how you have made it look, is it?

And anyway, I saw that at the start, but I'm sure Oceanic does not speak for the 22 people who have voted for the BNP on her. I seriously hope not anyway.

Do not misunderstand me, I am in no way defending Oceanic, and I would never ever vote BNP, but you cannot deny that there is a major problem here.

Sorry but I can completly deny there is a problem. It's actually 22 people who have voted yes out of 3737 members of NSC (that's 0.005%). An abstention is not a vote for. Even if half of those 3737 haven't looked at the board in years your talking about 0.01%.

Of those only 2 have actually bothered to defend their view. And neither of them have done that in English. There's no way to know if the rest are over 18, Palarse fans winding us up, Ernie's mates etc etc. I'll start worrying when the BNP poll a third of voters in a national opinion poll.

Britiain's in great shape. Relax.

But if you put it like that then it's actually 22 people who have voted yes out of the 60 million or whatever in the UK. Most members of NSC never look at it.

I wish I shared your confidence that the country is in great shape, I for one do not plan on spending the rest of my life here.

Me neither. I just came back from 4 years living overseas in Australia, India, Japan and Taiwan and will definately live abroad again at some point.

The thing that will lure me though is the thrill of travel not to mention a big fat ex-pat package.

I've been back in Hove for 2 months now and it's been a much more pleasant experience than I was thinking it would be. Sure it's expensive but I have a decent job and am just a walk away from great cafe's, pubs, restaurants, Sussex Cricket and the Albion. Hove has become much more multi cultral since I was last there and it's done the town a huge favour. I'll take Polish checkout ladies and Thai take aways over the Hove I grew up in that was full of 80 year old Tories with blue rinses and dog shit.

Fair enough. In fact it was spending a year in New Zealand that convinced me that I don't want to live in the UK forever. Before that I could never have imagined moving away.

I seem to remember the last time the far right raised their ugly lttle heads in the 70's, they were roundly defeated by many of us attending hundreds of Aswad gigs. Perhaps we should start doing the same again. Are Aswad still going or should we rally round something a bit more modern?

Please god let it not be Miss Dynamitee-ee

 

[London Irish]

Correct again LI, but, and I know this isn't representative of the whole country etc etc, this poll now shows that one in three people on here would vote BNP. Do you not find that a tad worrying? I refuse to believe that one in three people who have voted here are serious racists.

I don't think that they are either but yes, it is a tad worrying but there are obvious explanations.

Remember, for an Albion fan, looking for a third party protest vote is a tricky business given that the Lib Dems and Greens want to kill the Albion. The parties of the socialist left like Respect have no serious foothold in Sussex, so who does that leave to register your anti-Labour, anti-Tory protest vote? You talked about there being no "middle ground" any more - well, the reality is that there is in most parts of the country, the Lib Dems have picked up a lot of anti-war disillusioned Labour supporters, but you wouldn't expect that to happen in the NSC demographic, would you?

As people have already mentioned, only two people have actually openly stated their support for the BNP. The rest are either Oceanic's other log-ins or they know it's something not to be proud of.

Where exactly do the BNP stand with regard to Falmer? How would you vote (bearing in mind that you are in the LDC area) is the BNP came out with a single issue campaign - to give us Falmer. Now, we know that they can, if they take the seats, simply stop the complaints process and allow the development of the ground, and that realistically they will have no additional powers outside of Lewes - do you vote BNP to get the ground, or bite the bullet and hold your morals above the needs of the club?

On a more rational level - how about if the Conservatives did this? Could the Labour diehards vote Blue for the sake of a ground?

I think 29 people on here voted for the trains to wind people up thats all

 

[looney]

I voted yes.

I'll probably vote for Oiley or UKIP but I expect to be raptured before then anyway.


I just hope I annoyed a lot of people by doind so, my mission here is complete, back to ogling the violent pornography.

 

[Gully]

The BNP would probably agree to Falmer being built, with the proviso that only British born labour was used to build it.

It would be a lot cheaper to use slave labour, then with the spare money over we could start bombing france.

Here's a nice link to show you what you get for your money with a BNP councillor.

Crap, but probably still slightly more useful than a Lib Dem.....

Incidenally, going all the way back to the beginning of this thread, there is this myth the Mussolini made the trains run on time. Fact is, he didn't. He made sure HIS train ran on time, but as for improving the Italian railway network's punctuality - simply not true.
