Perhaps the major parties might consider that we are few up with political correctness, big brother, little if any influence, major parties telling us what we think, not listening!

If somebody votes UKIP, it means they are concerned about the EU. Its NOT a protest vote against sleaze.

If somebody votes BNP, it means they are concerned about the uninvited change of the British character and society, its NOT a protest vote against sleaze.

The electorate are NOT stupid!

The BNP legitimately win seats in these elections & a bunch of thugs turn up to shout abuse & attack his vehicle & prevent him entering the building, whilst all the time shouting ' facist'.
oh the irony. (funny, but I can't recall ever seeing BNP supporters behaving in a similar manner)

I have not nor am I ever likely to vote BNP. What I do find disgusting are the comments from the main political parties and the attitude towards the BNP of the BBC. No matter how reprehensible anyone may find the policies of the BNP in private, so far as I am aware, they are a legal organisation. Until the Government, hopefully not Labour for much longer, outlaws them, the BNP are as entitled as anyone to stand for office. This is still supposed to be a land of "Free Speech".

Posters who say the BNP vote was merely a protest vote are severely delusional.

Nearly 1 million people voted BNP, maybe it's because the BNP are concerned with issues that are important to the ordinary British person?

In the Labour Party manifesto for the last election, we were promised a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty - or whatever its being called this week.
Gordon Brown decided we didn't need one.
The British people have now had the opportunity to express their views on that decision.
Mr Brown, I hope your satisfied with OUR decision...

Yes, times are changing. British national politics needs a real kick in the backside. This nation is sick of greedy self serving people being their "representatives", sick of open door immigration depriving local nationals of jobs, sick of society's scroungers.
The nation has spoken in these euro elections. Well done to BNP and UKIP - parties that listen to the man on the street.

The new age is Europe is dead in the political sense. People want Europe to mean a common market and nothing else, they dont want to be ruled by Europe, they want to have the countries destiny and laws to be decided in house not from an unelected commission.

I am sure that many people will disagree with this, but I can finally see the first signs of dissent amongst the ethnic majority of the British population.

For years now the average working Brit has been treated like a second-class citizen in his/her own country. During times of prosperity, this can be tolerated. However, during the current economic climate, people have become tired of bowing to the demands of minorities and the EU.

The BNP and UKIP will continue to gain seats as a result.

YES - UKIP are saying what the majority of the people want to hear - A party putting the U.K. first.

I didn't vote for them because I didn't think they would be so popular, I will vote for them from now on.

Labour has ruined this country and they plan to discriminate against the White Working Man in their equalities bill.

It is too early to say if reform will happen. We have heard rhetoric from politicians before and when the public lose interest, it's back to business as usual.

The vote for the BNP must be seen in context - the British people have been trying to tell the powers that be for years that they do NOT want the doors opened to further immigration. If there is a shortage of doctors - train some, don't buy them in and give them (and ultimately their extended family) residency rights.

Yes we are and its a fast moving change brought about by Left wing dogma. Immigration has changed the very face of this country and in doing so it is breaking apart the very tribal structures that have held our communities together for centuries. The biggest mistake is the labeling of Anit-Immigration people as racist. This has alienated the public even more. This is a crisis brought to us by Labours dnagerous inability to listen to the public. Britain has lost its romance and they want it back.

Well I don't know why people are so scared of the BNP. I have been on their website and read their policies and I can't find any of this fascist thuggery that has been mentioned on the other HYS. If you or the party you support to do not want the BNP to get more support then urge your party to listen to the voters, the people of this country and STOP wasting our money especially after taxing us to death. We have had enough!

I've not really taken much notice of UKIP previously,but a TV interview this morning caught my attention.
The right of citizens to call a referendum is apparently one of their objectives,I applaud this as a major step to have democracy in this country.

Everytime labour come to power they virtually destroy this country and its up to the new incoming government to fix it. People will remember what this labour governement have done for a very long time.

I didn't vote BNP but I was tempted, simply because it is the only way the voting public can register a protest against immigration from Asia and Africa, & seek to evict illegal immigrants & the vast majority of asylum seekers who are simply economic migrants looking for hand-outs.
Labour blindly refuse to recognise that the majority of Britons don't want enforced multiculturalism...consequently the BNP have gained 2 European seats. Labour are self destructing & even now they won't face reality
