UKIP and the BNP
Green Reading - Adrian Windisch (Free subscription) | 21/10/2009
This year UKIP doubled its policies, from just the one to a total of two. Now in addition to just 'blame the EU for everything' they now also 'blame migrants' too. They have strayed into bnp territory, and must hope to pick up some of their supporters. This week some ex army leaders criticised extremist parties for using WW2 images . The media associated this with the bnp, but again UKIP were there...

UKIP and BNP sitting in a tree...
The Daily (Maybe) (Free subscription) | 21/10/2009
It's not been picked up in the news but yesterday in the European Parliament we had the rather distasteful sight of UKIP and the BNP representatives united together to attack the idea of tackling climate change. Nick Griffin (BNP) described the whole thing as 'an elite scam' and then Godfrey Bloom (UKIP) backed him up saying 'the whole thing is a sham... a bogus hypothesis'. You can watch the edited...

David and Eric: Introducing Lib Dem Defectives, Except Bhatti
Chris Paul: Labour of Love (Free subscription) | 21/09/2009
This is fascinating. Here's David Cameron and Eric Pickles, who'd already been gassing about Tories being Libby soulmates , holding court with some "Senior Lib Dems" who have become defectives. Most of those taking part are from visible minorities. All but one of them speaks to camera and explains the reasons for their treachery. Their "philosophy" would perhaps over stating things....

How an MP should make themselves accessable?
Irfan Ahmed (Free subscription) | 19/08/2009
Accessibility of your local MP is an important issue to many, but for some its something that shouldn't even talked about, but I agree that it is an important issue. Should MPs have a constituency office? That's a question that I have asked previously, and most have argued that a constituency office is vital for an MP but I still agree it isn't. If an MP has a Parliamentary office, a good relationship...

The Problem with selection of BAME candidates
Irfan Ahmed (Free subscription) | 19/07/2009
The debate about the Lib Dems and BAME candidates is short and sweet and I personally think people are dragging it too far. James Graham blogged about it first on his own blog which led to Lester blogging about it at LDV and I think both need to look at my take of the argument. First of all the lose of the Fernando pair, Norsheen Bhatti and even Sajjad Karim has caused problems for the Lib Dems but...

Opinion: The Defection Spiral
Liberal Democrat Voice (Free subscription) | 19/07/2009
It’s a case of déjà-vu all over again. The defections of Chamali and Chandila Fernando seem to have produced carbon copy internal debates to the ones that greeted Norsheen Bhatti and Sajjad Karim’s walkouts. As a party we really need to start learning some lessons from these regular blows because I, for one, am tired and [...]

BNP failing in Europe already
Acid Rabbi (Free subscription) | 08/07/2009
British National Party leader Nick Griffin has been travelling back and forth from Brussels ever since his election as an MEP , trying his best to find enough like-minded members to form a bloc of far-right MEPs so that he can take a central role within it. However, on Tuesday he was forced to admit that there is "no possibility" of finding that degree of support for his party. "We have...

BNP fails to find allies to form new bloc in Europe
Lancaster Unity (Free subscription) | 07/07/2009
Nick Griffin, the BNP's leader, has shuttled to and from Brussels since European elections last month in a push to take a central role in a new grouping of far-Right MEPs. But Mr Griffin accepted on Tuesday that there was "no possibility" of the BNP finding sufficient support. "We have failed to form a formal group. It's disappointing but not surprising," he said. As an "unattached"...

Czech Mates: Cameron's Euro Chess Ends In Prague Gambit

Here we are. Cameron's Prague Gambit Gamble. From Conservative Home the New Tory "Prague Group". How soon before some of these start disgracing Cameron and showing up his nowhere man judgement? And I don't just mean Chichester and Atkins, with his absurd personalised rosette, knitted by his wife perhaps? The 55 MEPs at the moment are: * 26 British Conservative MEPs * 15 Polish MEPs from...
