Back to what I said before. I think it's because the mainstream parties are so consumed by the BS that surrounds them, i.e. the European Constitution etc., they are totally ignoring the issues that most ordinary people are concerned about.
If they tackled these issues head-on, there would be no room for the BNP to flourish.
