| Re: BNP gains in London
The removal from the political mainstream of dialogue on class issues probably has a lot to do with it. It's not too much of a stretch to say that the indigenous working-class are probably the most under-represented 'group' sizeable enough to force genuine political change in Britain, should they choose to do so. Obviously a lot of economic factors have contributed to the breaking of the traditional working-class, but equally I think a lot of changes have been wrought by (wilful?) ignorance from the mass media about what life might be like for someone who is neither visibly 'different' nor 'bourgeois'.
