So the result of the leadership election and Nick Griffin has won by 9 votes.
So near and yet so far.
I must say I had not expected Andrew Brons to have managed to get so close to overturning the present dictatorship and neither I think did Nick Griffin.
However we must respect the democratic will of members however much it pains us.
The tragedy is that many, possibly hundreds of our best nationalists have given up on the party and their absence from our electorate has gifted Griffin this win.
THE QUALITY HAS LEFT THE PARTY, and it will not survive without them.
It means that the majority of nationalists in and out of the party would prefer a new leader and the fact that Griffin has won (this time fairly) means that our patriotic party remains split and impotent.
We still need find a way to unite and put away past differences if we are to get anywhere and the result means that outcome unlikely.
So what do we do? I don't really know.
I do know both sides are stubbornly intransigent and will not accept the other.
Will Nick Griffin accept that the majority of nationalists are against him? I doubt it.
Will those good people expelled rejoin if allowed under Griffin? No.
What is needed is for people's heads to be banged together to make them realise the cause is more important than any clique or person.
Possibly, just possibly sense will prevail, but I do not hold out much hope.
I can only wait for others ideas on what to do and pray for an answer.
