Dh wants to vote BNP.

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.

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

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

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

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. 😁

Quite
😂😂😂

Have. You read the manifesto and discussed it.
That might be a good place to start

But you didn't assume it was Reform, you jumped to the conclusion it was the BNP and then started a goady thread on MN before getting getting your facts right.

OP it sounds as if neither you nor your husband know much about politics, if he didn’t know when the election was, and you didn’t know that the BNP didn’t really exist any more.
I would suggest that before you turn to MN (and get told your DH is a nasty racist) that you talk to your husband about what his (and your) political priorities are, then have a look at which party most closely matches those priorities.

They're not standing anywhere.

The BNP had a london mayor candidate so they definitely are still around

Edit: Apologies I thought it was BNP but ti was actualy britain first, which is essentially the same thing

@bettingpencil I was so tempted by Binface !

@Nevercloserfortherestofourlives would that be the Nick Griffin who warned about the rape gangs in Rotherham? What a lot of rubb... Oh wait...

Either this is a troll thread designed to get left wing pants in a knot....or the op is genuinely thick and being trolled by her dh....or the dh is thick

I'm voting for the first option. The bnp haven't existed as a legal political party for years and therefore cannot field candidates...individuals can stand as independents on a bnp type platform....but they cannot use the name of any party/organisation

Reminds me of when
my friend (who I thought was actually quite intelligent..starting to have my doubts though)
Sent a dramatic message a few weeks ago…telling me her 22 year DS informed her he was voting for ‘Britain First’ (he’s also an Andrew Tate apologist 🙄)
I was like, ‘good luck with that’ 😂😂😂

He's a real hero

I need to try this, I can't stand my partner :)

OP I really do think it would be good idea to try and understand politics a little better for your own sake. It really does impact you - it’s not something that just happens to you. You have a right to a voice and it’s such an important thing to get to grips with as many people in this world, especially women, don’t have the right. If it was taken away you’d soon feel it. Look up your postcode here https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/voter/your-election-information to find out your local candidates. That’s assuming you’ve registered this time. If you haven’t now is an amazing time to learn a bit even if you dont vote so you’re properly clued up next time.

your voice is really, really important, believe me.

edited for spelling

😂😂😂
And rather articulate and persuasive in his debating skills. 😁🙄😁
In the sixth form common room.
Actually, in primary school, maybe year 5 ?

Hahahaha
QT 2009
Have a laugh

I wouldn't be very happy if my DH was voting for a party whose leader, Farage, said that he sympathised with Putin and the West provoked him into invading the Ukraine

But he might be

I don't know why the OP is getting a hard time for confusing the BNP / Reform.
They are a lot of the same people and their proposed policies / ideology are essentially the same. She is not being unreasonable to be appalled.

Because she stated in the OP her DH had “informed her” he was going to vote BNP. Then it turned out that’s literally not what happened at all 😆 he didn’t mention reform either!
