3 The manifesto cover
It's good of Labour to send itself up. Picking up, it seems, from Private Eye's fortnightly teasing, by which Gordon Brown is depicted as the Supreme Leader of some decidedly half-cock Soviet-style state, here we see a heroic communist-style family, circa 1945, gazing into the bountiful lands of New Labour's next five year plan. The sun will shine, always; fields will yield record crops, and cities – misty in the distance – will be the New Jerusalems of a strong and joyous future. This is, by any standards, an enjoyable satire and the designer – a Tory in disguise? – deserves to win an award along the lines of Comic Political Illustrator of the Year.

I am genuinely curious as to which of the BNP's policies you consider to be "good"?

Not picking on you, or anything, just honest curiosity as to what you (or anyone else) would consider to be a "good idea" of the BNP?

And how, even if any of their ideas could be considered "good", you (or anyone) could justify their most definitely not-good ideas which would accompany any "good" ideas if they ever had any sort of power (given that the BNP are a racist party, given that they do not consider non-white Britons to be British & wish for them to sod off to their "country of ethnic origin", and given that the BNP's very raison d'etre is the creation of an overwhelmingly white-British United Kingdom by stopping & reversing non-white immigration etc. etc. etc.). You can't vote just for their "good" ideas, given that the whole point of the party is to implement their bad ideas.
