So everyone has the right to vote for who they want. It’s a democracy after all. However, dh just informed me that he plans to vote BNP this year. I was stunned into silence. I will admit I do not follow politics in the way others do but from what I’ve heard and read about BNP I feel differently about dh now. I’m looking at him differently and feel a bit ashamed of his decision.
what does everyone else think about BNP? Am I missing something?

I guess my AIBU would be
IABU as BNP are a decent political party and it’s up to him.
or IANBU they are homophobic racists who don’t deserve to be a legal party.

I am with the others it would be end of relationship to me.

I appreciate everyone has different views but I couldn’t respect someone who will support a racist party.

I would not stay with someone who even thought about voting BNP.

It would be enough for me too. I would be horrified and feel like I didnt know my DH at all.

This would be enough for me to end my relationship.

Me too.

OP, the BNP is not a mainstream political party: they're a bunch of extremist lunatics with some very nasty extreme right-wing / fascist tendencies.

This is isn't the difference between voting Labour vs voting Conservative.

This would be enough for me to end my relationship.
