We are lining up a representative from the British National Party (BNP) as a guest interviewee on an upcoming show and we want to give the ATS membership the opportunity to post questions that we will endeavor to ask. So this is the only thread for questions for the British National Party

Where to start, and what an interview to start with guys. Nothing like tackling things head on.

Q - Do the BNP see the British voting for a BNP government soon?

Q - Where do the BNP stand on the EU and UK membership?

Q - How does the BNP define British?

1. Does the BNP support the concept of forced repatriation for ethnic minorities?

2. Do the BNP see themselves as racists or race realists?

3. Why do the BNP not field candidates from ethnic minorities?

4. Is the BNP a one trick party only interested in picking up the approval of xenophobic, lower class voters by playing on their fears and anxieties?

1) In a television interview Nick Griffin said that his 'ideal' Britain was during the Elizabethan age (as in Elizabeth 1st 1533 - 1603).

Is this still the kind of ideal the BNP advocate for our country?

2) Given the many many generations of mixing (both within and far beyond the British Isles, particularly with wars and recently international travel being commonplace) how can the BNP actually claim to define Britishness?

3) Surely it is also the case that if there is ever a lesson to be taken from science as we now know it it is that 'specialisation' and a lack of diversity is a potentially dangerous path for any population to take or desire.

4) Equally the same must surely apply to notions of 'British culture' if it is to remain a living dynamic and above all interesting phenomenon?

5) How would the BNP in power work with a British workforce and nation experienced with and supportive of the whole idea of 'equal opportunities'?

6) How can a more closed parochial outlook ever offer benefits to 'our people' in an ever smaller and more connected world?

7) How can easy simplistic slogans such as 'British business 1st' have any serious meaning in an ever-more inter-connected world with much of Britain's large businesses no longer solely British at all?
In the era of the trans-national partnership and multi-national corporation how can a 'nationalistic economic outlook' have any genuine credibility or serious application at all?

8) Is the restriction of the free movement of capital a BNP economic policy?

9) Given the very hostile international reaction to Austria having nationalists in coalition with their Gov in 2000 - 2002 why would the BNP think their achieving any kind of real Governmental power in the UK could have a positive effect with the UK's major economic, political and military partners?

10) What effect does the BNP seriously think they would have on the unity or otherwise of the UK itself?

11) How does the BNP intend to demonstrate it is not like other recent European nationalist partys and could be trusted with power?

12) Why is the BNP invariably completely silent when it comes to the illegal, anti-social and outrageous behaviour of some of its membership?
It always seems to attract and tolerate as members the sort of people regularly caught out by undercover reporters as admirers, apolgists and deniers of the German nazi period and what happened then, why?

Interview in the can and will be in The Next Above Politics show.

Thanks for all the questions and I think many of them were answered during the interview.

Stay tuned as we have other interviews lined up

I think this is going to be an interesting interview.

However, I am surprised ATS is allowing an apparent neo-fascist party to be given airtime on Abovetopsecret.com. But to be fair, I've had BNP campaigners knocking on my door once and the representatives where quite intelligent.

For those who have never heard a BNP representative being interviewed; you will be suprised how pleasant they are really.
