Originally by: Tallaran Kouros That's a bit racist tbh.
I laugh every time someone throws that term around incorrectly. If the people like you used it, it would be racist to point out someone has a crooked nose, or a mole, those are afflictions dammit.
Also, damn right we are chomping at the bit to get independence, we aren't going down with HMS England. We'll go down on our own terms.

You know it's bad when my Indian friends say that it's getting to foreign even for them.

While I agree, I think we should all reserve the right to throw eggs and rotten fruit at any politicians we don't like, and those who are corrupt. |

I was a bit less depressed when I heard BNP actually got less votes this time, than last, tho
Eh.... no, not quite.
BNP- 800k last time http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/vote2004/euro_uk/html/front.stm
BNP- 950k this time http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/elections/euro/09/html/ukregion_999999.stm
Yeah, but weren't the two areas the got elected MEPs in, the count was lower, and only got in because Labour voters didn't turn up. It was something like 5+ more people voting for one of the other four would have resulted in no BNP MEPs.

Nationwide turnout was down from 38% to 34% yet the total BNP vote increased by about 18%.
In pure, raw numbers yes but as a *share* of the total votes cast, it was down.
Not quite sure how you come to that conclusion:
2004 38% turnout 16.8m votes cast 808k votes for BNP
= 4.8% of those who voted voted for the BNP
2009 34% turnout 15.6m votes cast 943k votes for BNP
= 6% of those who voted voted for the BNP
So nationwide the total number of votes cast for the BNP rose and the share of the votes cast for then BNP rose.
You got a source there? I'm just curious.

Originally by: Jaroslav Hasek Yeah, the two BBC pages I linked to previously:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/vote2004/euro_uk/html/front.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/elections/euro/09/html/ukregion_999999.stm
I did the maths by rounding so there maybe a couple of tenths of one percent difference.
Thank you.
