I think this must be taken into consideration when comparing the fortunes of the FN to that of the BNP.

I think that the most telling thing about its findings were that the Left has basically successfully managed to foist the label of 'far right' onto normal, rational everyday thinking about nationalism, national identity and immigration. Such a party would only be 'far right' according to the utterly Durotriganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12427474698912082351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657878812884081988.post-41850322957024281712011-05-04T21:37:59.175+01:002011-05-04T21:37:59.175+01:00The UK has one of the largest democratic deficits ...The UK has one of the largest democratic deficits in the Western world, largely because it still has a party system which has changed little since the 1920s.

Given France's position as a lynchpin of the EU, a victory for the FN could have positive repercussions for all the other peoples of the EU. <br /><br />On the other hand, I must agree with Cheradenine that we have no-one in the UK on a par with Thilo Sarrazin in Germany.
