Nach einer aktuellen Erhebung der Meinungsforscher von ‘Metro/Harris’ will jeder fünfte Brite unter 35 Jahren bei der nächsten Parlamentswahl den Neofaschisten der ‘British National Party’ (BNP) seine Stimme geben. “These are very worrying findings. Any rise in support for the BNP is worrying especially among young people”, kommentierte die Organisation ‘Unite Against Fascism‘ das Umfrageergebnis. Damit liegt die Rechtspartei noch vor den Grünen. In der Gruppe der über 35-jährigen käme die BNP derzeit auf 3 Prozent.
“In recent years the BNP has struggled to appeal to young people, who tend to be less likely to hold racist views and more at ease in a multicultural society than the general population,’ a Unite Against Fascism spokesman added. “But this poll shows there is no room for complacency when it comes to tackling the BNP.”
There was also wide regional variation, with seven per cent of voters in Wales planning to support Mr Griffin’s party in the polling booth, the poll of nearly 2,000 people showed. However, just one per cent of those in the east of England would vote BNP, the survey revealed. And only one per cent of urbanites said they would vote BNP, in a separate survey of 1,800 Metro readers.
But anti-fascist organisation ‘Searchlight‘ said the sample was too small to prove a trend. Spokeswoman Sonia Gable said: “This was a very small sample of BNP voters and is therefore prone to a high margin of error”. (Quelle: Metro.co.uk)
