My hope is that they would start to address the problems which are causing people to vote BNP. My expectation is that they'll use more authoritarianism and smear tactics to either shut them up or shout them down.<br /><br />The "right wing" label always being applied to extremists always annoys me - same with the use of the term "conservative" to label Islamic fundamentalist or authoritarian states.<br /><br />It is, of course, quite deliberate - the aim being to associate the terms "right wing" and "conservative" with soomething bad.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15007863347348182876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34993014.post-10389929997984233492009-05-13T19:38:00.000+01:002009-05-13T19:38:00.000+01:00I think you're right to a large extent, Stan. But...I think you're right to a large extent, Stan. But I think we all might get a surprise at how many votes the BNP get on June 4th due to protest votes. <br /><br />I'm going to be scrutinizing the news from now on to see just what effort the MPs and the media go to to try and smear the BNP. I'm sure we'll all be hearing the "right-wing" label a lot from now on. Funny how we never hear any mention of "left-wing extremism."<br /><br />LAwrenceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
