Here is an article which shows why the people of Britain have no other choice than the BNP if they want to see the issue of immigration addressed. On the EU and immigration all the other parties have abandoned leadership on the issue. All they will do is give hollow promises that they will promptly ignore once they are returned to power. ie Labour promised a refferendum on the EU constitution in their last general election manifesto, then shortly after he became PM Gordon Brown sneaked over to Lisbon and signed Britain on to EU constitution without the promised refferendum.

MigrationwatchUK Condemns All Other Parties for Silence on Immigration
well-respected MigrationwatchUK think tank, which claims to have a working relationship with elements of both the Labour and Conservative parties, has condemned all other political parties except the BNP for not discussing immigration.
â??The three main parties are once again ignoring widespread public concern about the number of immigrants allowed into the UK in their manifestos for next weekâ??s European elections,â?? MigrationwatchUKâ??s Sir Andrew Green has said in a press release.
â??An analysis of the partiesâ?? manifestos on this highly sensitive issue â?? consistently rated among the top three concerns of the public for a number of years â?? finds no hint of any desire for an open and frank discussion, let alone any meaningful commitment to bring down the highest immigration levels in our history,â?? Sir Green said.
â??Only last week a YouGov poll showed that more than 7 out of 10 adults want immigration cut by over 80 percent.
â??Yet once again the main parties prefer to duck the issue and offer only platitudes. Either they simply do not understand the level of public concern out there â?? or they are displaying a wilful disregard of the public mood,â?? Sir Green said.
The Migrationwatch assessment on the Labour Party manifesto is that while there is undoubtedly a major reform of the visa system, â??there is no sign of any significant reduction in numbers.
â??The description of it as â??Australian styleâ?? is misleading,â?? said Sir Green.
â??The Australians start from a limit and select within it. The new British system has no limits and is not intended to have any. Indeed it might well weaken immigration control rather than strengthen it,â?? Sir Green said.
â??There is no reference to the UKâ??s population. Ministers have said that they will prevent the population of the UK reaching 70 million from the present 61 million. That will require a reduction of 75 percent in net immigration. Their own estimate is that measures announced so far will reduce it by about 5 percent.â??
The assessment of the LibDem proposals is that they are â??fine words with a predictable pro-European slant but in need of a reality check. What is their â??coherent approachâ?? to legal immigration from outside the EU when demography and circumstances differ enormously? And how does this square with national control of immigration? Their manifesto contains no sign of any serious policy for immigration,â?? he continued.
â??The Conservative manifesto is cursory, indeed condescending, on this key issue â?? a single paragraph in a document of 28 pages stating that their MEPs will oppose harmonisation of policy on asylum, visas and immigration while supporting EU co-operation where it adds value. They say these sensitive matters are best dealt with as policies for national governmentsâ?? competence and control.â??
The British National Party is the only party to address the immigration issue squarely and honestly, and in line with the issues about which the public are concerned.
Voters have a choice between the other parties, which offer in MigrationwatchUKâ??s words, â??meaningless platitudesâ??, or for the BNP, which offers a reasonable, sensible and correct approach to the immigration issue.
