Would a female BNP leader improve your opinion of them?

With talk of a leadership challenge against Nick Griffin, if a female member was to be elected as leader would your impression of the party be improved?

Good God she'd be burnt at the stake

"Hitler rode on the back of the German depression, to advance his plans. This could happen here."

LOOK at Hitler. Look at Mosley. Then look at Griffin.

LISTEN to Hitler speak. Listen to Mosley. Then listen to Griffin.

THAT is one of the main reasons why the BNP are doing so badly.

And, as I have mentioned elsewhere today, the German depression shit on ours from a great height, yet still the Nazis had to resort to intimidation and vote-rigging to get into power.

The BNP are vile, but they are far from being the real threat that the Nazis were, though I am sure they would love to think differently.

no

I'd think she was slightly dim though.

MMMIFLAW. In 1997 the Labour party membership was 405,000 in 2008 it had fallen to 176,00 a huge drop, have these members become fed up with the Labour party , and some of them now vote BNP. Dpunk says, people don't UKIP even tho they address many of the grievances, she has because they don't have got the balls. I agree with Claig on another thread, I think they are a threat.

I would be amazed if Labour party members - i.e. not voters but card-carrying socialists - decided to support the Fascists because they didn't like Blair.

I was very much against Griffin's appearance on question Time - not because he is a vile man who preaches hate, but because it overstated his importance.

Yet in spite of that appearance; in spite of the disaffectation with mainstream politics; in spite of a higher public profile than they have ever had; in spite, most importantly, of secret ballots - this party of thugs, liars and drop outs could not even manage to attract 1.5% of the electorate.

I loathe them and acknowledge that this country would be a happier and better place without them - but whoever this new leader is, he or she is going to have to be extremely charismatic to manoeuvre the BNP from there to a position of a genuine threat. To quote Samuel Jackson in "Pulp Fiction" from memory, that's gotta be one charming motherfucker of a pig ...

No. Stupid question.

SixtyFootDoll · 12/05/2010 18:21

Oh yes us dippy women would vote for anyone who wears nice shoes

mellymooks · 12/05/2010 18:27

Fuck, no way.

elliemental · 12/05/2010 18:32

no. I would despise her even more, for not challenging the gross mysoginistic views the BNP hold.

differentID · 12/05/2010 18:39

they would still be the BNP- a racist homophobic bunch of misogynists.

wannaBe · 12/05/2010 18:54

they will be a threat if the electorate votes for PR.

As an aside, what will happen to the likes of Nick Griffin if he loses the leadership? After all, I can't imagine him being in high demand anywhere? Imagine being on an interview panel that interviewed him for a job.

Brollyflower · 12/05/2010 18:56

No

BelleDameSansMerci · 12/05/2010 18:57

What, something like this? About as credible...

toccatanfudge · 12/05/2010 18:58

No - I'd just think she was a bit thick

Yes
Of course I would.
Sack Marrow boy Griffin straight away.

We need wimmin.

Just grab a random one off the street.

note that this OP is the only post by this person

please direct your wonderful anti-fascist activity to a useful place like here not troll feeding.

Chil1234 · 12/05/2010 20:08

Maybe if they elected a black or asian woman we'd have to rethink our view of the BNP.... LOL!

nancy75 · 12/05/2010 20:13

the bnp had a female candidate in the borough next to mine - she still got nowhere - people hate the bnp because they are wrong on every level, not because they are male

Janos · 12/05/2010 20:33

No, never. Next question?

PuzzleRocks · 12/05/2010 20:37

Ooh yes, because it's only a matter of rebranding isn't it!

Idiot.

TooPragmatic · 12/05/2010 20:40

what an odd question.
I don't see why the BNP leader being female would make the party any less repulsive.
