Bowden is extremely articulate and definately one of the BNP's best speakers. However, like you I don't think he's a leader as such. Leading any political party is a highly difficult job, and leading the BNP has to be the hardest with the constant massive attacks from without and within the party, the latter often orchestrated by state agents and infiltrators. I don't for one moment think that all the VOC group (and I know some of them), are in this camp, but they have been manipulated by their understandable desire to see the party become more electable and successsful.
The real test of character is to be able to assess genuine dissenters from agent provocateurs, not an easy task, but one we mustn't lose sight of.
