My friends and I had a debate about this the other night and they said that the Conservative Party are not like the BNP at all!

What are your opinions on this?

The way I see it is the Conversatives are very similar to the BNP beliefs but they are just more dicrete about it!!

Have a read of these, i'd be interested to see your views afterwards.
Cameron has genuinely tried to move the Tories more to the middle ground. At the same time, the BNP have tried to move away from the brainless thugs image and tried to project a more european (they would never admit that) style right wing party.

The result is that there probably are a lot of people who call themselves Conservative supporters who would be more suited to being BNP supporters.

Hi Lonnie thanks for the links. As its quite a lot to read could you give me a summary of both Manifestos if you don't mind. I hope to read it properly when I get a chance.
Thanks
Both parties are right wing, supporting the class sytem and money. However:

The Conservatives look to global investment. They are not interested in the 'nation' as such, only the part of the population who have investment in international companies. The BNP are British Nationalists. They want to boost British-based companies.

The Conservatives want to stay in NATO and the EU, whereas the BNP want Britain to go it alone.

The Conservatives do not want to repeal anti-racist laws or seriously stop immigration, the BNP want to do these things.

The Conservatives are not racist. Membership of the party includes black members. The Conservatives support the monetarist system and invite all races to join the chase and become millionaire business people. The BNP are racist and do not want non-white membership, nor do they want non-white millionaires or bosses.

Apologies for not getting back sooner, I think Jocks reply has summed up the differences, albeit briefly, but for me, who is a Tory voter, its the Racist issues that make the difference.
