I think if anything it will give the main political parties a kick up the arse to drop this crazy notion that immigration concerns are married to racism, and that the vast majority of people in this democracy want something done about our open borders.
Hopefully the show has crystalised for them that the only way they can stop disillusioned people float-voting for the BNP is to have some clear and compelling policies to address this issue for the majority.
I'm not saying I agree that immigration needs to be shut down, but I am saying that in a democracy, the majority rules and that's a big issue for the majority, and therefore why the are voting for BNP.
I'm not sure we do need do tackle immigration so much as we need to make the process rigorous, like Australia's or the US, and we need to communicate more clearly what's going on annually with our immigratees in order to alleviate the "monster under the bed" syndrome that spooks a large percentage of the population.
The really complicated one though is the fear of Islam, and I think that's the monster under the bed that will probably remain the BNP's greatest political advantage over the other parties. They can stir up fear with that in ways that the main parties can't address at all without a hardline re-assertion of Christian values enforced by by British law.

- We can't expect to remain exclusively low population like some kind of Mark Warner holiday resort.Orbit
- Not without becoming isolated from the realities of the world North Korea, or imposing birth limits like China.Orbit
