The results of the local elections were perhaps a little disappointing but generally we held our own with a slight increase. There were also local issues and complications which always have an effect and which are difficult to quantify.
It is often difficult for a party such as ours whose policies are based on wider national issues to break into the local political scene which is mainly based on problems such as refuse collection and schools where the difference between our policies and those of the other parties is often small. Many of our policies reflect the danger to the country of increased immigration, the EU and illegal wars which are far more important to the future but often do not translate to a local level.
This explains the success of parties such as Independants and CAP who although fairly strong at local level are irrelevant nationally.Unfortunately people are often swayed by the minor issues while missing the big picture, especially in an area as yet relatively "unenriched". The trouble is that when "enrichment" happens and voters can see the writing on the wall we have more voter opposition.
However in standing when realistically we knew we had no real prospect of success we have shown our presence and that we will be there for people to vote for in a general election and give people who want to show their patriotism in the ballot box to be enfranchised. Also we do have an effect on the results far in excess of our vote. Steve Mc Ellenborough, although he polled only178 votes helped defeat the odious, uncouth and boorish Peter Franzen which must be a good thing for democracy and standards in local government.
We must redouble our efforts and continue our steady progress and eventually we will take our country back.
Congratulations to Richard Barnbrook on his success in London. This refects the increasing influence of the Party and that we can triumph inspite of the lies and venom directed against us by the other parties and the often foreign controlled media. They will find it more difficult to deny us a fair hearing in future.
My thanks to all who helped us and who voted for us.
Remember the longest journey starts with one step. We will eventually reach our goal and take our country back.
