Dh wants to vote BNP.

Anyone looking for a laugh on a boring Sunday afternoon should watch Nick Griffin (BNP leader) being ripped to shreads by Bonnie Greer on Question Time 2009. Classic. 😁

So not only does he want to vote for a party that is openly racist but he wants to vote for a party that has no candidates?
I could not be with a man who is not only racist but stupid

Sorry, just realised that this is about the BNP who have thankfully receded into oblivion. My comments about Reform stand.

You can't vote for them they arnt standing so good luck to him

If anyone actually looked at their ‘manifesto’ (which is largely non-existent) they would see that the section on ‘Funding of Reform UK Plans’ resembles some sort of sixth form attempt at an economics essay. And a very bad one.
All the other rhetoric is unsubstantiated hot-air.

To quote one example of unsubstantiated hot-air, I give you the pledge by ‘Nige’
’Reform UK will ensure that our elderly people can live with dignity through long-term reforms funded by a growing economy’
How will they actually do that ? CF above ‘Funding of Reform UK Plans ‘
Apart from the shit grammar.

I may be a pedant but I really don’t have any faith in a politician , lecturing me on what should be taught in schools, when he has so little grasp on English grammar. Completely unfamiliar to the comma, which let’s agree, is pretty basic.
Taken from Nige’s manefesto;

’Any teaching about a period or example of British or European imperialism or slavery must be paired with the teaching of a non-European occurance of the same to ensure balance’
Apart from the poor grammar, what is meant by an ‘occurance of the same’ ?
Very, very bad English language and communication via the written word. Maybe Nige should have to subscribe to some basic courses in literacy in order for him to have citizenship.

I guessed you meant Reform. A party of neo-nazi, shit-stirring haters who want us to all to live in 1958.

Given he professed to not knowing there was an election or who's standing, he's likely saying it to wind you up.
With regard to his comment about "a lot of people coming here and we can't afford it"
Well he's right about that... statistics prove unregulated immigration is making people poorer!

Per capita GDP is dropping so yes we are poorer individually but the gross GDP is up because there are more people in the country.

Those at the top profess this isn't true and scaremongering but they want the cheap labour force and wages kept down.
This is why we have such a disparity in aspiration. Why bother to even try when you can survive on top up benefits and untaxed side hustles.

This 😁
As in I mean he hasn't even said who' he's voting for, "up on politics" but didn't know when the General Election is (come on, everyone who's even slightly interested in politics knows when that is as we either want the fuckers out me or be cheerleading Nige and the rest of them by wittering on about boats)
Benefit of doubt It sounds like he's said he's voting for someone far right and OP has got themselves confused even more by googling all sorts

Yes, me too!

It's sad that probably the least racist country in the world is crippling itself by never being able to talk about issues that seriously affect people for fear of racism.

Have you ever read anything so far fetched your only response is to blink because where would you even start!?!

Deal breaker for me.

So is ignorance and judgement without trying to understand any facts whatsoever.... Very weird thread

So you said you were ashamed of someone you love.... Without knowing why or anything about what party or what they actually do? And not listening or asking any questions? Maybe reevaluate your relationship if that's where you're at

@Poltershighclimb99 who are you going to vote for?
(you don't actually have to answer as voting is secret)
If you plan on voting and are as completely clueless about politics if you say you are - then please do some proper research.
It's people like you that don't really think enough about what and who they are voting for that ruin it for everyone (see the massive Brexit cock up as an example).
Either go and read up about who is actually standing in your area.
What party they are representing.
Then read about that party and what they stand for and their manifesto.
Or don't vote.

You might want to look at Led by Donkeys and their peice on Farage. Reform have few policies and want to dismantle the NHS. Not even a political party , a company which the gullible pay into while Nige laughs all the way to the bank…. One of my parents has announced they are voting reform - it’s hard to get my head round. Just BNP in suits..

Oh dear

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🥸🤪🥸🤪

The electoral commission had banned them? What drugs are you on? That is not their function. https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/

For one minute I thought you were being serious 😳😂

Ignore mateymusings. They don’t seem to understand party politics in a parliamentary democracy if they think Reform supporting a slightly left party in districts where Reform is uncompetitive is anything other than a maneuver to split a potential Labour vote.

You will not be able to educate your dh—his brother has fallen down the conspiracy hole and there are well known links between these communities and right wing politicians and political groups its where converts are made and votes are harvested. Your dh is probably pretty far along on his pathway to full on convert.

If you have traditionally been apolitical just start thinking about what you would like to see your political leaders do to fix the problems you care about. Then get out snd counnterbalance your dh by working hard to elect people who you suppirt.

I don't think he knows what he is talking about OP.
There aren't any BNP candidates to vote for.

If he means reform then yes, they seem to appeal to quite a few people currently.

There is usually some party for the xenophobic, my life would be better if it wasn't for x&y coming over here groups.

The country did vote for Brexit and Reform is Farage's next thing. Blaming others is a simple option in life and often popular.
