Anyone up for Griffin as a new leader -
Remember what happened to that Dutch MP who was far-right. About 6 hours after he was elected he was shot.
I can't honestly say that the same won't happen soon with the way that Labour and the Conservatives are going.
And I tell you now that also a fair few parties would like nothing more than a war for resources, or a crusade. These attacks give them just that.

You mean Pim Fortuyn, and he was assassinated two months after he was elected--not 6 hours. :blink: He said among things that he favored an end to all immigration from Islamic countries, and even went so far as to say that all immigration should be stopped, since the Netherlands had enough people. He was opposed to the clause in the Dutch constitution that forbids discrimination, and remarked that he considered Islamic culture "backward" and "hypocritical." Reading some of his articles, he comes across as a populist who used the immigration issue to get ahead, as opposed to a zealous xenophobe. For what that's worth.
