Once again, the remote right progresses throughout Europe, pointed to the result of 2024 presidency elections and Donald Trump’s return to the White House. In turning extremism masquerading as populated populations, I believe there are lessons we learn from our war against the great right to barking in 2010, when We crushed BNP.
The context is different. Have a small social media before 2010; We have not passed through a pandemic; There is no Great European War and no serious challenge to a rule based on international rules.
But there are reasons for playing then relevant today. Changing elections slow down to decline. In barking, East London, the 2001 General Conection voter Movout 45.5%, from 61.7% in 1997. Our research revealed that the people at home. Angry that politicians do not listen to the cause of voters; anger to Losing Local Jobs at Ford in Dagenham; Anger that successive governments do not build decent, affordable house for local families; Resented by the way immigration changes the local community however politicians refused even to join a debate on the issue.
In 2006 this anger found a house as voters started to go to BNP. BNP stands 13 candidates in 2006 council elections and win 12 seats. If they stand that many candidates, we want the first BNP council in Britain.
In 2006, the Barking Labor Party loses trust in voters. We spent a lot of time, talking to ourselves, and only a little time connecting our voters, listening and meditating on their priorities. And some blanks are so small in the BNP and talking to people’s failures, false type of today’s social media. For example, the myth is Bord Government Encourage “Africans to move to Essex” It becomes accepted orthodoxy, such as lies about Ukraine who began Russian war has been done today.
Our role is to rebuild our voters trust, and take four years of hard work and focus on work to get there. If we leave it in short campaign, we fail and bark to choose a BNP MP. working Losing support is united and we are on the end of the labor government. So campaigning in national issues of barking is not our answer.

But we understand that all politics starts from local. People take care of what is happening in their immediate environment. They are not interested in Westminster observations; They care for car parking, garbage, sitting at a bus stop. The issues of national issues are only important to voters when they have a local effect. Between 2006 and 2010, immigration and lack of cheap house are two important issues with national constituents care for by my constituents.
We refer to what our voters are important, and I have changed the way I work. Everyone should help me connect with my voters. I stopped attending endless party meetings and Japanese events. I focus on connecting with many voters as much as I can.
I write directly and regularly with voters, asking them for coffee coffee and street meetings. I am looking for their support in local campaigns, such as taking a bus route moved to a hospital. Talking directly to people is the center of our strategy. Those who came to our Japanese coffee got a decent cup of coffee and chocolate biscuits, and we listened to their concerns; We did not preach our agenda. Listening is important, and every afternoon of coffee some local issue has always emerged. We try to count the problem. We have made what we hear, then we tell our actions to all voters we invite, even if they are not all. We made a virtuous circle by communicating, listening, acting and communication that helped us rebuild trust.
We also operate on evident issues, including immigration. Not by bordering the relevant racist relators, not by promoting the clock return and immigration cut, but by working to determine what is important to respond to legitimate concerns. So, for example, we have a small social residence available, correctly that a family’s connection to a local community should receive a weight rationing requirement. That’s the dispute with the left, but we want to break the poisonous bubble by answering what people believe in being unfair. And we often make the positive case for immigration and the variation it brings, for instance by taking soup pictures including St George’s Day.
The vindication for our approach came to the victory of BNP beat, Departure all councilors in BNP and make circumstances carrying out the destruction of that party.
Today, social media will no doubt have an important role in the populist rising correctly, which implements communities with the minds of hatred and lying.
But today’s social media observations as a passage for political communication should not be separate from the Dictum of Great US Dementratic Political Tip O’Neill that “all politics are local”. I hope today’s politicians and communities, facing the challenge online and street, can be taken from our 2010 experiences to stop communities infected with hatred and lying.
