			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s a bit worrying that the far right <em>British National Party</em> has <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/bnp-gains-damaging-uks-reputation-1699490.html">gained some European Parliament seats</a>. This is after all, the kind of thing that happened after the great depression, with the Nazis gaining seats.</p>
<p>However, something to think about, the <em>BNP</em> does want to shut down immigration to this nation, and to be fair we have too many people and too few jobs. And we have a lot of immigrants coming here, sponging off the state, taking our taxes, I think a lot of people are angry about that and Labour has done nothing about it. Maybe that&#8217;s one reason Labour has done so badly in these recent elections&#8230;</p>
<p>On the other side, the BNP wants to withdraw from the EU, which I think is a bad idea. We can&#8217;t do it alone, and as a larger block we will have more clout in terms of trade with the US and China.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t vote <em>BNP</em>, but I can sympathise.</p>
