I pray to Allah that it will be a success. I love being proven wrong, it reminds me I am human.

The BNP has 44 councilors. That is more than UKIP however it is not more than we should be aiming for. We should aim to get thousands if we want to get anywhere.

However you are asking the wrong question. The question is, why should people who are worried about the NHS or crime or in local elections local amenities vote for a party that is seen as one issue party ? I don't want to compete with the BNP for 0.5% of the vote I want to compete with the Lib Dem etcs for 20 % what do you want to do ?

I was disappointed in the Europe election, I was expecting us to get at least 20 seats!
I was gutted in the GE!
I was not disappointed in the local elections, I expected nothing and got nothing!
We are the only way so I will soldier on writing to the papers, stuffing envelopes leafleting and much to the delight of John Page and BA Ware writing on this forum! :cry:

Why do you think most people who are anti the EU vote for pro EU parties ?

Whether you buy into their arguments or not, there's no denying that they have made the case that their single issue is ever-present and important. We can do the same by pointing out the problems that the EU brings to people at an everyday and local level. Regionalisation, etc.

Perhaps because they want other things from a political party ?

You may be right, but I've not seen any Earth Shattering policies yet from UKIP that would get voters flocking to vote for us!
