Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The authors have uncovered alarming signs that the British National Party has far higher potential support than conventional wisdom would have it at a time when public hostility towards immigration is hardening. The BNP and UK Independence Party may be bitter rivals, but they draw from the same reservoir of support, and opinion polls and focus groups suggest they are linked in voters' minds. It is estimated that the two parties between them can draw upon a potential reservoir of support from about 20% of the electorate. (Quotes from original text)
