Following on the decision of the
National Elections Officer of the BPP to field a candidate in the
Havering area, we can now announce the exact constituency as Romford.
The constituency covers Romford,
Gidea Park and Collier Row in the London Borough of Havering, East
London.
Although the constituency includes the middle class Romford Garden
Suburb area, large housing estates also form part of the constituency
and the electorate are mostly working class Conservatives.
The reason why we have decided against the Dagenham Consituency which
is also in the Havering area is that it has been pointed out that the
BNP came second in the last electoral contest and may have a chance of
winning this seat. Therefore the BPP will NOT stand in Dagenham so
giving the BNP a clear run but will stand in Romford instead.
We have severe policy disagreements with the BNP leadership but we
would still rather see a BNP candidate become elected than a Tory.
We hope that
the BNP Leadership under Messrs Griffin and co will respond with a
similar good will gesture and give the BPP a clear run in Romford.
We are doing the decent thing - Mr.Griffin - will you?
Should the BNP decide to stand Romford as well then we may have to put
up an extra candidate in the area as our gesture of good faith
will have been totally ignored.
