GetItDone Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Harriet Harman let slip that Labour's planned electoral reforms - if they get re-elected will mean the BNP will need 50%+ of the vote to be elected. Clearly the motivation for electoral reform is to exclude the BNP from Westminster and deny their voters a voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVABFtaCjrg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly the motivation for electoral reform is to exclude the BNP from Westminster and deny their voters a voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVABFtaCjrg The BNP need to concentrate on getting 5% of the vote first. Don't worry your pretty little head about them ever getting anywhere near power, the British people have a bit more class than you think. As for excluding the BNP from Westminster, which party would waste their time and effort on something so improbable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 How many votes does it take to be elected to the leadership of the BNP, GitD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sibon Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 They are shifting the goal-posts because they know the BNP are on the rise -just like the EU shifted the goal-posts by raising the threshold of MEPs to 25, from seven countries to be able to form a European Parliament grouping and receive public funding worth up to £1 million per year. Define rise for me GItD. My relatively good mathematical skills suggest to me that "rise" means "get bigger". Do you really think that the BNP are going to poll over 6% in this election?
