So the day of destiny is tomorrow when the votes in the leadership election will be counted.
In recent weeks we have seen that the majority of the most respected members of the BNP have seen the need for change.
The only ones favouring Griffin are the armchair members who have little knowledge of the leader's machinations,a few activists who although hard working cannot see they are being taken for a ride and the cohort of recently joined members whose position depends on Griffin's survival.
Nick Griffin will probably win. He has seen to that, but that will be the end of the party as a credible force in British politics.
BUT WILL HE WIN THE HEARTS OF THE BRITISH ELECTORATE?
I doubt it.
He has been slow to condemn the Norwegian atrocities (has he has done so yet?) and thus has given an open goal to those who wish to taint nationalists as murderers.
Andrew was one of the first to condemn the killings, demonstrating his humanity and political nous.
If he wins there will be a mass exodus of the "quality" members, either by resignation or expulsion, and the party will be left with a small rump of second rate members still enthralled by his oratory but failing to see he is leading them down a blind alley.
Anybody who still believes in Nick after all his mistakes in throwing away the golden opportunity we had as a party is either politically naive or working for him.
If Andrew Brons wins we have just a chance that we can resurrect the party in an image more acceptible to the electorate and more democratic to its membership. It would give nationalists the opportunity to reunite as a cohesive and increasingly influential political presence.
If Andrew loses and Nick wins the cause of nationalism and possibly the fate of our nation will be set back years.
TRUE PATRIOTS CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THE ORDINARY MEMBERS CAN SEE THE LIGHT.
WE WAIT WITH BATED BREATH.

I'm afraid that there's more chance of the sun rising in the West on Tuesday morning, than there is of Andrew Brons being Chairman on that day.
No bookmaker would give you even 1000 to 1 on against Griffin. Bookies simply don't take bets on fixed races. And few races in history have been this fixed!
My prediction is Griffin will win with around 70% of the votes, and he'll make some comments about it being a good clean fight. But within six months Andrew Brons, and anyone who supported him, will be gone.
I can however assure you all that this is life (both political and otherwise) after the BNP, I know because I'm living it!
Hi Chris. Do you have a hat to eat?
He can't kick out AB yet because he's his fellow MEP. NG hasn't got so many friends you know!
