I think the BNP have a couple o policies which they can use to try and win votes from other parties. The obvious one is immigration, but I think that the TV expose has all but killed off their chances of any real success. Had it not been aired, I have no doubt that they may have done much better in the election. The Tories have a strong policy on controlling immigration, whereas Labour seem to be the opposite... the appearance is one of "all are welcome". What they don't seem to have realised is that many people do not want an open-door policy, and whilst they don't need to worry about voters mid-term, come election time it can be very different. And that sums up a lot of Labour's government... appearing to not give a damn about what the electorate want or think.
The sad truth may well be that the Tory party win, not because of their policies, but because people have had enough of Mr. Blair and his cronies. Hey, election by default!
