The BNP threat in Yorkshire

In the forthcoming European Elections on June 4th the BNP need poll as little as 11% of the vote to gain an MEP. This would be a disaster for our region and for all our communities. The amount of money and credibility that the BNP would gain if they won a seat could transform that organisation possibly making it a permanent feature of politics. The malign influence of their racist and divisive views would be magnified threatening civil society throughout the region.

We are committed to ensuring that we don't wake up on June 5th to this nightmare and are seeking to build alliances across the region with all people of different walks of life, faiths and beliefs. Our common goal is the defeat of the BNP.
