Oxford Unite!
On 10 June 2004, the British National Party (BNP) gained the highest vote ever for an extreme right party in Britain. It came within a hair’s breadth of obtaining
seats in the European Parliament and the London Assembly.
On 10 June 2004, the British National Party (BNP) gained the highest vote ever for an extreme right party in Britain. It came within a hair’s breadth of obtaining
seats in the European Parliament and the London Assembly.
With more than 800,000 votes nationwide, the BNP demonstrated a scale of electoral support already surpassing that achieved by any previous extreme right party in this country.
If the current electoral trends continue unchecked, the BNP could make a major breakthrough in national politics, giving them a significant platform for the first time with an unprecedented opportunity to promote fascism within British politics.
That breakthrough is not inevitable, but halting the BNP’s advance will be difficult and will require a campaign uniting the labour movement, the black, Asian, Jewish and Muslim communities, gay and lesbian voters, trade unionists
and everyone that supports democracy and freedom.
