Like it or not, it is a generalisation, if you think otherwise, fine, please say otherwise. I still believe that a fall in support for the BNP would be part of a wider collapse of the "right" minority party vote, and UKIP would also see a collapse in its support - oh I forgot, that has already happened since 2004!

It would also fair to say that 2005 was UKIP's big chance and THEY blew it, would it not?

(oo, bitchy!

However you write it, opposition to immigration on ANY grounds, will ultimately come back to the changing racial make-up of this country, you can wrap it up in any other guise you wish, EU, housing problems, water supplies - whatever, but UKIP literature leaves an indelible stain that the party is anti-immigrant and therefore to MANY people's eyes is like the BNP, hence accusations of "closet racists".
