Far-right BNP gains as voters humiliate Gordon Brown in European poll

EMBATTLED British Prime Minister Gordon Brown faces a new fight for his leadership today after disastrous European election results that saw his Labour Party humiliated and a surge in far-right support.
The anti-immigration British National Party won its first seats in the European Parliament, while the anti-European United Kingdom Independence Party (Ukip) looked set to win more support than Labour in a national count.

Ahead of the final results expected later today, the BBC projected Labour would win just 16 per cent of the vote, behind the main opposition Conservatives on 27 per cent and Ukip, which wants Britain out of the EU, on 17 per cent.

The results up the pressure on Mr Brown, who is fighting to reassert his authority after a turbulent week that saw 10 ministers resign, a Labour vote collapse in local elections and intense speculation about a plot to oust him.

Voters were expected to reward fringe parties as they punished Labour - in power since 1997 - for a scandal over politician's expenses and the recession.

But the unprecedented success of the BNP, whose leader Nick Griffin is among two new members of the European Parliament elected in seats formerly held by Labour, will be seen by many as a failure by Mr Brown's party to re-engage a disillusioned public.

A reported revolt against the prime minister by Labour MPs last week failed to materialise, halted by his hasty cabinet reshuffle and declarations of loyalty by key ministers, but the EU results could give them a new impetus.

The situation is likely to come to a head in the weekly meeting of Labour MPs in parliament tonight.

Newspapers reported that Mr Brown will try to buy off grumbling MPs with promises of a long-demanded inquiry into the war in Iraq and a pledge to shelve controversial plans to part-privatise state-owned postal service Royal Mail.

Cabinet ministers rallied around Mr Brown over the weekend and the prime minister organised an impromptu meeting of Labour party activists in London where he said he would soldier on.

“What would they (the public) think of us if ever we walked away from them at a time of need... We are sticking with them,” Mr Brown said, adding that it was a “testing time for our whole country”.

Business Secretary Peter Mandelson told the rebels to “stop taking shots” at the prime minister, warned that any leadership change would bring “irresistible pressure” to call a snap election that Labour could well lose.

However, the EU poll defeat - results of 63 of 72 seats suggest Labour lost seven per cent of the vote and five seats nationwide - combined with the dire outcome of English council elections last week, will be hard to ignore.

Former Lord Chancellor Charles Falconer renewed his call for Brown to be replaced as Labour leader in an article in the Times newspaper, saying he was unable to lead the fight to win back public support.

“It is so difficult for Gordon Brown, after 12 years as prime minister or chancellor (finance minister, a job Brown held under prime minister Tony Blair between 1997 and 2007), to be a convincing agent of change,” Falconer wrote.

He added: “My view is that the painful step of changing our leader, a leader who has given his life to the Labour Party and to public service, would be best for the party and the country.”

In an editorial, the Times said the prime minister's position “could hardly be more precarious”.

“Unity under Brown is now impossible. A paralysed government is terrible for the nation,” it said, saying he must be replaced.[/quote]

Very interesting comments from all. In relation to predjudice etc, there has been predjudice against the white australians for a long time by the very fact that on most government forms there is a question as to whether you are of aboriginal or torres strait islander descent .This usually means that if you are you get a bit of special treatment.

A couple of years ago in Perth we had a bit of a bun fight going on in the media from various correspondents about the special treatment given to the indigenous population and one respondent virtually stopped the hoo haa in its tracks by his comment of- he had children by two marriages- a couple of "white" kids and a couple of "aboriginal kids" he said if he went to centrelink he could get all the assistance under the sun for his two aboriginal kids to attend high school but nothing for his white kids, so he said he would not claim anything until everyone was treated equally- yes he stated he had a good job -that was not the point.

The point I like to get across is the muslim immigrant or even the australian who is muslim appears to belong to the group who are the loudest in their desire for the government to change laws etc to suit their religion.

Governments of all leanings are to be blamed for the erosion of parents rights to discipline their children, they did this by going overboard in the effort to stop child abuse, now we do have the situation of children telling their parents to get stuffed etc.

I am on the management committee of a youth drop in centre and we do have various ethnic groups represented but the rules are the same for all-cause trouble and you are banned for a set time.

In our suburb we do have quite a diverse group populating the area,us european whites if you wish to class us Aussies as such, we have muslims, indigenious and over the last few years quite a few from the areas of Africa such as the sudan and these are causing a lot of trouble.Whether that is because of the troubled nature of the countries of the African continent I can not say, what I do say though is, if you decide to come to Australia then you leave your old biasness and predjudice behind you.Do not make your children who may be born here or who are only one or two when they come here live the way you did back there.

My heritage for those interested is this-on my fathers side- his father came out to Australia in the late 1800's from Italy, his mother was from England(I do not know when she came but my grandfather was her second husband) and my father was born in WA, on my mothers side- her parents were german and mum was born in Queensland so as my late husband (who was a white kiwi with Scottish and Irish ancestory) used to say I was a "piga"- a pommy, italian, german , australian.

Each culture -yes even the muslims-brings something to this wonderful country of ours the only thing I would like to say is this- Whether you are born here or whether you choose to come here , once here we are ALL Australians, respect each others beliefs BUT DO NOT expect everyone else to change to what you desire and we MUST have rules that are the SAME for all.

On that note this blocked nose, coughing her lungs out ,widow , will say goodnight as it is time to feed the only children I have-my two dogs- and feed myself and hopefully get a nights sleep that will start me on the road to recovery.

Peace to you all and be thankful you can have your say without ending up in jail.
