The British National Party Should Not Be Allowed to

Stand for Public Election in the United Kingdom

The are many arguments debating whether or not the British National Party should be permitted to stand for public election in the United Kingdom. I am going to analyse and discuss this litigious topic in order to appraise what I think after exploring and considering both sides of the argument. To begin with, many people argue that they should not be allowed to stand for election because they are repulsively racist and practice fascism. On the other hand, supporters argue they have as much right as any other party to stand for election. So is the British National Party a brutal, callous and xenophobic political group or are they a group of people trying to preserve British culture?

Firstly, many people argue that the British National Party would like to return all members of ethnic minorities to their motherland if they came into power. The British National Party believes that people from other countries have come and settled in their land, in their territory, in their homes and that they have rights over who should and should not be in their country. They believe that ‘multi-racial society doesn’t work’. As quoted by Nick Griffin. Griffin- is the leader of the British National Party. He said this in a recent documentary. However, a March 2006 survey showed 90% of Londoners said that they like London’s cultural diversity. This shows that people are happy with diversity. So many people argue that the British National Party is iniquitous in making false assumptions to distribute hate amongst different races. Various critics argue that the British National Party is obviously trying to destroy the admired multicultural societies of the United Kingdom.

Conversely, supporters of the British National Party believe that they are preserving the culture of their land. They say that there are too many non-white people in their society and that they see more people from other countries than they do of people who are inherently from the United Kingdom. They argue that these people have stolen their jobs by immigrating into their countries and taking away their work. Yet still, the government is declaring shortages of workers. They believe that the current government is imprudent, inconsiderate, and credulous to allow these victims of poverty in to their country. There is a recognisable proportion of non-whites in the country; the official government statistics show that the percentage of Blacks/Asians altogether is 5.6% in the United Kingdom.

On the contrary, many institutions such as the Unite Against Fascism group argue that the British National Party is a Nazi organisation. The Nazis were vindictive fascists. The Nazis attempted to annihilate out entire races of people. The Nazis believed in the loathsome Aryan race The Standards Board for England and Wales has officially ruled that the British National Party could be called a Nazi Party. They are also known for the denial of the inexcusable, blood-curdling and ghastly endeavours during the holocaust. Griffin was convicted for disseminate racial hatred. It was in a British National Party magazine that ...
