AT THE local elections last year, the British National Party made an
overall gain of just one council seat. Our opponents and the media
were ecstatic over this and were queuing up to write off our whole
campaign as a failure, just because we didn’t have any headline-
grabbing results.
Last May, the British National Party vote held-up in the face of a
huge anti-BNP campaign run by the Labour Party and the trade union
bosses that it has in its pocket, as well as the usual hostile media.
It was a commendable performance and set the Party fair for a series
of significantly higher local election results across the country over
the next 12 months, a shift in public support towards the BNP that has
become known as our Quiet Revolution.
The British National Party’s steady progress towards becoming a
mainstream political party has been built on firm foundations. Apart
from that incredible night in Barking and Dagenham two years ago,
there have been few eye-catching headlines and although our steps
forward have been small and steady, they have been made when the Party
has been ready to take them and as a result of the groundwork done by
local activists within their communities. It’s called our ‘Quiet
Revolution’ because the 10% to 20% votes consistently polled in these
local elections, although considerable achievements in themselves, are
not spectacular so fall under the media’s radar.
The United Kingdom Independence Party, on the other hand, was
catapulted into the headlines by publicity guru Max Clifford, and its
’success’ was not built on the work of its activists at local level
but by television and newspaper headlines for a couple of weeks just
before voting took place for the European Elections in June 2004.
UKIP’s ‘breakthrough’ came thanks to favourable media coverage and
when that exposure stopped, the bubble burst and because it didn’t
have any firm foundations in local communities built by actual
political campaigning at grass roots level - it has now virtually
disappeared from view.
Today, people will be voting on a range of political issues that
directly affect them. Whether they will be voting for the BNP will
solely depend on whether we have got our message across to them
through our activists on the doorstep. Every single media outlet,
without exception, has ceaselessly promoted the anti-BNP campaign. The
column inches in the newspapers attacking the BNP over the past couple
of weeks probably runs into miles! So any success that we might
achieve in these elections will only come from the hard work of our
activists and the leaflets, broadcasts and Internet coverage that has
been produced and generated by the Party itself.
For the British National Party these local elections have already been
a stunning success. Over one thousand new members since the start of
the campaign and before a single vote has even been counted. Enquiries
have come from thousands more seeking to join and help the BNP, and a
dozen new councillors have already been elected unopposed, albeit at
town and parish level. All this is another small but sure-footed step
along the path to more political influence.
When the results come through tonight and tomorrow, this is what our
members and everyone who supports and votes for the British National
Party must have in their minds. We have already won, we don’t need to
wait for the media or the establishment’s political pundits to tell us
what we have achieved.
Our Quiet Revolution is ongoing and it is built on having the right
political policies that are being promoted to the public by dedicated
teams of BNP campaigners across the country. Our Quiet Revolution is
built on firm foundations, not media headlines.
