As far as the National Front being fascist goes, it was Nick Griffin who recently told BNP members that if they wanted a more democratic party, they had two choices, either join UKIP or join the National Front.  The limited repatriation proposed by the BNP would make little difference to Britain now, and if the BNP ever reached a position where it could begin to put its policies into practice, the situation would, by then, be far worse.  After Derek Beackon won the BNP's first council seat in 1993, the change in the public mood was immediately noticeable to everyone. Opinion polls showed that more than a third of the British people supported the compulsory repatriation of all non-whites. Even limited successes by a radical nationalist party (well-attended marches, etc.) could have a significant impact on the mood in the country.  If all you are interested in is tinkering, changes to criteria for asylum, etc., you would probably be better off joining one of the establishment parties and trying to gain influence that way. Your chances of being successful are extremely remote, but arguably less so than that of the BNP forming a government.  The reality is that, after ten years of concessions and allowing people to join who believe race is irrelevant to nationalism, the BNP has 8,000 members. This includes those who never attend a single meeting and those who only join for one year. We should stop playing follow the leader.  Interestingly, every nationalist party, even the BFP/N9S, seems to avoid the word 'compulsory'. There is no reason why it need be used in day-to-day campaigning.  You do realise that the BNP was formed by John Tyndall for the sole purpose of being more streamlined, he could not run the NF because everything he put forward had other people voting it out. This system of an elected dictatorship although less democratic does mean that it's harder for infiltrators to gain control of the party and things can run smoother. As for your comments about marching, John Tyndall stopped marching stateting that we should only begin to march again when we have the peoples support. I would hardly call the BNP manifesto tinkering it is radical change to what we have now.
