That sounds pretty Left-wing to me.

Nationalism is to the right of the political spectrum but if you read the BNPs' 2006 council election manifesto you will find that most of their policies are actually quite left wing. Just ask Lord Tebbit. Nationalism gave rise to fascism in the early 20th century but not all Nationalist movements are fascist.

However, although fascists were typically fanatical nationalists, the vast majority of nationalist movements have not been fascist.

Nationalism IS fascism! I'm proud to be British and I hate the EU, but doesn't mean I'm a Nationalist. I consider myself a patriot and patriots respect other cultures and peoples, where as Nationalism doesn't and in some cases even seeks to impose it's intolerance on other peoples (Imperialism). BTW, don't use this arguement against US foreign policy because there is a clear difference between the two. “Griffin is a Nationalist not a fascist - big difference.”

Thats about the only Strasser philosophy that does influence the BNP.

Its very strange that Labour and Tory politicians seem quite intent on throwing thier weight behind Asian only or black only organisations but as soon as a white person decides to do the same he is either a Nazi or a racist. Its a terrible double standard that the politically correct Tory/Labour/Lib dem parties seem quite happy to accept, while at the same time seem intent on taking all of us into some multicultural 'colourblind' ideal.

As for doubling the amount of councillors that is no recomendation. The Nazis won a no of seats in the Reichstag in 1933. It just says that the people who voted BNP were either naive, misinformed, ignorant, vile, or racist, or all of the above!
