Oddly, if I sort out the vote, it'll be a decade since i last voted, also in the euros and also for the communists.:hmm:
 
Continuing his desperation to stay in the public eye as a 'politician' rather than a media whore.

Their number 2 candidate up here, Kenny Ross, is on record as regarding all SSP members as Class Traitors, from the safety of a Squalidarity meeting. I cant imagine too many SSP supporters giving too much time to this crowd
as a result.

Number 2 candidate? Has the slate already been decided?

He actually referred to those who didn't trot out the Sheridan line in court. Strangely he then endorsed calls to work for Left Unity even when it was specifically pointed out to him that this would include the SSP and those he referred to as 'class traitors'. Last I heard Ross was in the Labour Party, has he not found himself a nice wee niche there anymore?
 
I'll be voting tactically.

The last time I did this I got a double result, the tories lost a close second and the loons of the BNP came nowhere. :D
 
Just as some u75 regulars keep an eye on "hostile" sites, I wouldn't be surprised if people from "hostile" sites keep an eye on u75, and since is an anonymous poll they have nothing to lose by voting BNP.

It is even possible that someone wanting to "emphasise" the danger of the BNP doing well (and hence the need to vote a certain way to combat this threat) decided that the BNP figure needed bumping up?

And then there is the possibility of someone having a stupid/funny/controversial/let's-piss-them-off/trolling motivation.

I certainly can't think of any posters who have openly admitted to supporting or voting for the BNP, but given what would happen if they did that isn't surprising.
 
I don't think someone would be banned for saying they voted for the bnp, the problem is the other stuff they would probably be coming out with

If someone announced they were a BNP member/some other kind of fash and then spent the rest of the time posting in suburban or in "threads and dreads" or some regional forum or something, or spent the rest of the time posting on kitten threads, :D and never looked in the politics forums, then i doubt there'd be a problem tbh - the probelm is that they almost certainly wouldn't behave like that ...

They would be beasted everwhere they went until they were banned or left. They would be the butt of everyone's hatred and frustration. Every single thing they posted would be poured over for the slightest bannable offense and they wouldn't have one minute's peace.

Anyone choosing to say they supported the BNP on this site would be inviting a fight. If someone didn't want a fight they would keep quiet about it.

I somehow doubt that anyone who supported the BNP would want to be part of this site in any case - which is why I think those 7 votes are lurkers, fakers or controversialists. I really doubt they are genuine opinions of any regular u75 posters.
 
Is that not the one the RMT are dong, cos Sheridan's considering standing for them http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/7934634.stm

Hmmmm.....

Press Release

"NO2EU - Yes to Democracy is a coalition of campaigning groups which is due to be launched next week on March 19.
"A misleading story in today's edition of the Daily Record, which also appeared on the BBC Scotland website, claims that Tommy Sheridan would stand on behalf of the coalition in the upcoming Euro elections on June 4 on a platform of withdrawing from the European Union.
"Both these assertions are completely untrue. There has been no formal discussion among the groups involved regarding where the coalition would stand or who the candidates would be."

It's a bit of a lazy assumption to think that BNP supporters couldn't or wouldn't conduct amiable and lucid discussions on non-political subjects.

frogwoman didn't say they wouldn't or couldn't - the key bit was "the other stuff they would probably be coming out with" and doubting that they would "never [look] in the politics forums".

A BNP supporter here might well try and "conduct amiable and lucid discussions on non-political subjects" but once they had outed themselves I really doubt they would then be able to participate in many "amiable" discussions, given that a large number of people here would regard them as scum.

That's exactly what she says here:

Maybe that wasn't the intended sense of this epic run-on sentence but it seems to refer to some deficiency in conduct of our shy BNP supporters rather than any subsequent harrassment of them.
 
Someone is either likely to declare their BNP membership and *continue* to argue the toss, or not declare it and keep quiet. What would be the point of telling anyone you supported the BNP unless you actually wanted to debate it?

frogwoman didn't say that a BNP supporter wouldn't post in kitten threads: she said that anyone announing here they are a BNP supporter is unlikely to then not take part in any political debate at all.

I have to agree: why on earth would someone wanting to avoid political debate mention which party they support, especially if it is the BNP? Not impossible but *unlikely*.
 
The same as the Labour Party. Afterall apart from the sandals,flowered shirts and beards there isn't any difference.

Bollocks. Greens are not neoliberal phonies who suck financeers cocks.

Greens are not authoritarian scum who want us all treated like sex criminals with the NIR.

Greens are not war apologists, nor are they institutionally corrupt.

Greens are far from perfect, but phoney labour filth is one thing they aint.
