[6] Political Frenzy

Horrific political decline this week with the BNP securing two European seats.
Obviously a clear indication of the current state of our country's political and social affairs. Understandably the many workers made redundant, trade unionists etc opted to abandon their vote completely, a simple and highly effective message to New Labour that enough is enough; The repercussions however of this boycott are visibly dire.

No2EU - Yes to Democracy, the national electoral coalition bringing together trade unionists and a variety of left wing forces has been working terrfically hard to offer an alternate positive outlet for the public to voice their concerns. Unfortunately, media coverage was narrow to say the least.
BUT it doesn't end here, acknowledging and supporting this new political force now and in the future will effectively turn the country around.

The media has been transfixed on the figurehead of New Labour pushing resignation, will he won't he, but what it's failing to recognise is that the corruption behind the party doesn't solely lie on Gordon Brown, it's the policy itself and until the policy alters and in a sense connects with its own past, the majority of the natural supporters will be no where to be seen.

The sad reality is that the failure of social democracy to inspire, lead and protect has created cynicism and disillusion boosting racism and fascism. Although the 'Stop The BNP' campaigns were effective across the UK in particular London and the Midlands, we shouldn't even have to be campaigning against such an abhorrent and racist organisation, the political alternatives ought to be obvious and accessible.
