I spend an inordinate amount of time urging people to do positive things, you don't have to be involved with a political party to do that.
I am on this forum because the negative campaigning, and the associations that the ED's keep which impact negatively on the English movement, are deeply concerning to me (and also, I know, to people within the English Democrats).
I'm not saying that the ED's *are* racist, black or white or otherwise, but that their tactics are casting a pall of suspicion over English nationalism. That they enter into pacts with white nationalists to prevent the English nationalist vote being split is itself negative because it means that they are not setting themselves against White nationalists and arguing the case for a positive English nationalism - an English nationalism that sets itself against discrimination of any kind and views the English EFP as as much of an enemy as the British Conservatives, Labour and Lib Dems.
That the EFP fly the English flag does not make them potential allies with whom you can negotiate with a mind to converting them or persuading them to step aside for the greater 'English cause'. There is absolutely nothing positive about Steve Uncles' policy. It merely confirms the negative stereotype that English nationalism is far-right, a stereotype that many of us have spent a great deal of time trying to counter and dispel.
If the ED's entered into pacts with far-right Muslim extremists I would be on here arguing against those agreement.
