British National Party Launches its European Election Manifesto

The manifesto deals with the BNP’s main election pledges, which are as follows:


- We will campaign for Britain to withdraw from the EU.


- BNP MEPs will always vote in the European Parliament in the best interests of Britain and the British people.


- We will seek to expose and oppose EU corruption, incompetence, fraud and waste.


- We will work closely with MEPs from
other countries that share our aims and beliefs, in order to be more
effective and successful.


- We will maintain the highest
standards of probity and integrity. In this regard, all BNP MEP
candidates have signed a pledge to donate ten percent of their pre-tax
salary to local cultural groups and activities in their regions. This
would mean payments to groups celebrating our national saints’ days.


- We should have British control over
British borders so as to stop unlimited and uncontrolled immigration
and reduce crime and terrorism.


- Britain, not the EU, should decide who lives in this country.


- Anyone not born in Britain who commits a crime here should be deported.


- British citizens should only be
extradited where they have committed a genuine offence abroad and there
is sufficient evidence against them.


- Our armed forces should be under British control and serve British interests.


- We must keep the Pound and control over our own economy.


- We oppose the UK’s payment to the EU - next year this will cost British taxpayers around £9 billion.


- We support the ability to trade with other countries when this is done fairly and on equal terms.


- ‘British jobs for British workers’: employers should be obliged to provide jobs and training to British workers.


- We need to eliminate unnecessary and bureaucratic EU regulations which cost British businesses around £75 billion per year.


- Britain must withdraw from the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) which costs each family around £450 per year.


- Britain must withdraw from the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP).


- Britain must have exclusive control over its territorial waters.


- Britain must retain control over its oil and gas supplies.


- We should restore the use of Britain’s traditional weights and measures.


- The British parliament and British courts should be independent of any foreign body.


- The government should stop the
closure of Post Offices, especially in rural areas, and there should be
no privatisation of this public service.
