Not Welcome Here: Beating The BNP Threat To London

You may have already seen how the shameful policies of the BNP seek to damage the community relations in our capital city. This is our London, not theirs, and we need to protect every citizen from their extremism and racism. 

The London Assembly has 14 constituency members and 11 London-wide members. The London-wide members are elected depending on how much of the percentage of votes each party obtains. Any party with fewer than five per cent of the vote is eliminated. This is what happened to the BNP in 2004 when it polled 4.8 per cent of all the votes cast.

All votes for other parties will increase the total vote and therefore reduce the BNP percentage, so it is important that voters, wherever in London they are, use their vote to try and put the BNP below five per cent. On the Saturday 19 April there will be two different activities. Starting at noon there will be a stall in Walthamstow Market to publicise this campaign, followed at 2pm by a leafleting session in neighbouring streets. I hope those of you who are proud to be a Londoner and love the rich variety of this capital will come along to join in a day of action that will benefit us all.
