Last night I stayed up rather too late waiting for the North West results. Waiting and hoping that the BNP wouldn’t take a seat in the European Parliament.  I’d already seen them take one in Yorkshire, and this was disturbing enough!

I feel it’s a sad day today as we all must take in the prospect of what two seats in the European Parliament gives this racist outfit who call themselves a legitimate political party.   Not only does it give them a platform from which to legitimately campaign from, it gives them the financial recourses to do so.

There are a lot of things I find unforgivable about this Labour Government, and this is one of them.  We can’t blame everything on MPs expenses, although I’m sure it has to take some of the blame.   This problems that the BNP are focusing on have been unaddressed for years.  Lack of border controls, uncontrolled immigration, over stretched public services, access to our services and benefit system to all and sundry, all unaddressed after years of a Labour Government.   Michael Howard to his credit had the audacity to bring this up in the 2005 General Election campaign, I remember only too well as one of his candidates, and he was labelled a racist.

Labour have a created a ridiculous politically correct environment, and I have thought for a long time we were heading for an unhealthy right wing back lash, and here it comes!   Last nights results should also give an insight to what proportional representation would mean for our system – a disaster!  

As a Conservative I couldn’t be happier, we increased our share of the vote after a difficult period for all the main parties in the back drop of the MPs expenses scandal.   I hope now that we can move on and clean up the system and get on with the real job of bringing our wonderful country back into some sort of shape.    The Conservatives won in Bolton last night and I’m determined that we will win in Bolton at the General Election – whenever Mr Brown has the decency to allow the British public the choice they deserve.
