The BNP has always had to do the impossible with very few resources. But how about nicking the headlines just before the Election day itself?
Now this is just me thinking out loud. It is not some anti fascists wet dream Nick Griffin has no intention to stand down (for what I know at the moment) But there will come a time when he will have to pass the baton onto someone else.
Why not on the morning of May the 4th issue a press statement where he announces that he will be standing down as leader of the BNP to concentrate on parliamentary duties if he wins the seat of Barking or leading the European BNP group whilst giving any support necessary to the new BNP leader which would be elected in the summer if he doesn't.
It would steal the headlines just before the media have to go quiet. It would also allow the BNP to concentrate on how the BNP has grown under Nick Griffin. with over 50 councillors and 1 assembly member and 2 MEPs and now standing a record number of General Election candidates assuring the BNP will get their highest number of votes in a General Election.
A chance to focus on the good record of the BNP and how the BNP has grown (I am sure the media would try to twist it of course). It also allows the BNP to move even further forward. Nick Griffin has admitted himself that he will always only be able to move the BNP so far forward it would need someone else to break the glass ceiling as the media are always allowed to profit from his past.
My personal opinion is that the workload needs to be spread out amongst a team of high ranking members with a specific role to each. So we had an economic, home and education spokes people. I also believe it would be time for a woman to take the helm of the party. Not that we should air lift one in, it should be done on merit. But I believe with a woman as leader it would deflect a lot of the fascist/Nazi rubbish.
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT VOTE BNP
Personally I think we can do without this kind of article at this moment in time.
ReplyDeleteI respect what you to say, but as I said in the post "just thinking out loud."
ReplyDeleteNick Griffin has to stand down at some point. Why not utilise the opportunity to its full potential?
Nick is our leader for as long as he chooses to be. There is no woman I could see fulfilling the post if Nick did stand down. The obvious successor would be Simon.
ReplyDeleteGod bless Mr Griffin. I am an OAP and the BNP or the only ' real ' political party in my life.
