Stop the BNP in the European Elections

USE YOUR VOTE ON 4 JUNE 2009
In the 2004 European elections the BNP polled over 800,000 votes across Britain. On the 4 June the BNP will be targeting Yorkshire & the Humber, the West Midlands and the North West regions where it was only 0.4%, 0.8% and 1.3% short respectively.

The general public is outraged at politicians from the main political parties in Westminster following the scandal of MPs expenses.

However, the protest vote that will almost certainly result in the European elections could let the BNP in.
The BNP can only be defeated by mobilising all those opposed to fascism. To this end the Sikh Federation (UK) urges Sikhs throughout Britain to cast their vote on 4 June in large numbers. If any Sikhs are to cast a protest vote it is better if candidates of the Green Party are supported, which is the only major political party that has passed a specific motion in support of the Sikhs right to self determination.

Sikhs should also vote for candidates from the main political parties if they guarantee to be a voice in support of the following fivepoint EU agenda for Sikhs.

1) Allowing practising Sikhs to carry the Kirpan into the European Parliament
2) Protesting against the French or other governments for introducing laws or practices discriminating against the Sikh identity
3) Supporting an exhibition on Sikhs in EU institutions and other awareness raising events
4) Linking EU trade with India to India’s human rights record
5) Preventing those involved in torture and genocide in India from travelling to or entering EU countries
