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.

He's a real hero

If you think he's a hero now try out his cooking shows

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..

The Led by Donkeys video on Farage is excellent. I think he is a deeply dangerous man and I am dreading the thought that Reform may have some success in the upcoming election. Reform bots are flooding Twitter currently, when I log on (which isn't that regular these days as it is pretty hellish on there since Musk took it over) my feed is full of Farage himself, Lee Anderson, and Isabel Oakshott (partner of Richard Tice the other Reform majority shareholder who made way for Farage). I do not follow any of these people, I am mainly on Twitter for cats and books and some of the humourous political accounts like Parody Rishi Sunak and Sir Michael Take. However all I get is Reform despite blocking a lot of it. As for the BNP, don't think they exist anymore but there are a hideous bunch of racists in an organisation called Britain First and they had a candidate in the London Mayrol election. They achieved fewer votes than Count Binface which was great and they did their best to disrupt Kahn's acceptance speech. Not sure what they are up to in the G E

YABU

You may not agree with all their beliefs, but cant you just respect his political opinions are different from yours? You're acting like he's voting for the nazis to come back into power Hmm

Genuinely none! He said something the other day about immigrants but nothing untoward. Just more like it’s a lot of people coming here and how can the country afford it.

That is untoward. And deeply stupid.

I didn't see the BNP on my ballot paper. Or does it depend on where you live?
