CANVASSING FOR VOTES

Question: How do you get someone to vote BNP? Answer: Ask them to. It’s as simple as that and it means going door to door on the ward you are targeting.

It’s the same routine at every door. 1) check on the register for the person’s name 2) knock on the door. 3) If after 2 knocks no one answers post them a leaflet 4) If however the door is answered look them in the eye and say in a smooth and confident but sincere voice “Is it Mr/Mrs Smith? I’m canvassing for the local election in May. We’re from the British National Party, the BNP. We are standing a local man in the election. Would you consider voting for us? At this point there is no way you can tell from the appearance of the person what their answer will be.

The possible reaction can go from one extreme to the other. From a very strong “yes - definitely! The other parties haven’t got a prayer, I’m right behind you”, to the other extreme “ no - no way! In fact you can get off my drive you Nazi.”
.
But people can say lots of different things, some of them totally unexpected. One of the most surprising things you occasionally hear is “the BNP, who’s that? I’ve never heard of them” Clearly current events or politics is of no interest to these people whatsoever. Another reaction that is encountered occasionally is for a look of sheer terror to appear in the person’s eyes, as though they were confronted by the devil himself. They say in a very shaky voice “no thanks” and quickly shut the door. These people are obviously very gullible and are completely taken in by the media line that we are the Nazi Party reincarnated.

Another more positive reaction is for the person to furtively look up and down the street and then say in a low voice “yes I’ll be voting for you, but don’t write anything down”. You can sympathise with these people. The Establishment’s fearsome intimidation of anyone who dissents from the multicultural orthodoxy is clearly affecting them strongly.
Many people though can see through the media propaganda and the Establishment intimidation and are open minded about the BNP. They know there’s a major problem in the country and want to know if we’re the people to sort it out. This is where canvassing really scores. No amount of leaflets can match the face to face encounter with a real BNP member. The person is often very pleased that you have taken the time to call on them personally and are interested in what they are going to do on Election Day. You often have an interesting conversation with them and sometimes manage to sell them a copy of Freedom. You can be sure that a large percentage of these people will do just what you have asked them to do – vote BNP.

It’s the bad reactions that you do occasionally get that puts many people off canvassing, but you do naturally get hardened to it. These do-gooders seem to think that by giving you a bit of verbal abuse they have scored a major victory. You can imagine them saying to their friends and family “I saw those BNP men off in a hurry – they won’t be round here again for a long time”. The reality is when they shut their door we go to the next one and continue with the job. We couldn’t care less what they say – it’s a numbers game and they have only got one vote.

On one canvassing expedition a car drove up and a middle aged lady jumped out, ran across the street and thrust a leaflet into my hand. “I don’t want this rubbish” she said. I just thought how sad is that? She has nothing better to do than drive around the streets to find someone who just posted her a leaflet. “Doesn’t matter” I said to her “you’ve only got one vote”.

Of course there are many people who as soon as you say the words “canvassing for election” their eyes glaze over. They’re just not interested. “I’m having my dinner at the moment” is another version of this. They might as well say “the future of the British people can go to hell because I’m having my dinner”.

Whatever the reaction you get from the person you mark the register accordingly. It’s either a ‘Y’ for yes, an ‘N’ for no, or a ‘P’ for possible. We also have another mark for people who can’t be bothered. We mark ‘NI’ for not interested. Of the people we talk to around 8% are NI. The plan is that in the week before the election we either call on our Y’s again, or post them a copy of Freedom to encourage them to turn out.

It remains to be seen if our efforts at canvassing have worked. If we had a bigger team I’m sure we could win with canvassing, as the support is definitely there, but you have to work with what you’ve got.
In any case whatever happens our consciences will be clear when the whole multicultural experiment goes into its final death spiral.
