BNP Leadership Election?

From various sources it seems that longtime BNP stalwart Chris Jackson will be standing for the leadership of the BNP this Summer.

You would think this would be cause for celebration. After all what better way to guarantee your 'modern' party really is "democratic" than to have an open, fair, regulated leadership contest - with equal space given to the candidates in party journals, on the party website and in party mail-outs?

Some people, surely those of limited intelligence or unsophisticated political understanding, are saying that this news is meant to 'undermine' the BNP's May election results.

Quite how a Summer leadership election would have any dint on the May election results, with a public/electorate totally unaware of the internal matters, constitution, leadership election policies etc.

And if, as some are saying, the leadership of Nick Griffin is assured (etc.) then a leadership contest (even annual!) should be welcomed to recognise the vast majority of his party's recognition of his leadership -- and so the world can see the open and honest way the contest is conducted, and the votes are counted.

And to those who say "what right have FC to comment on this" (usually those who are forever commenting on other nationalists in a derisory way!) - well, we have the "right" to comment on any party and its leadership in the democratic political party charade (be it Teflon Tony, Call-Me-Dave, or Nick Griffin) that's the idea (whether practised or not) of democracy!

Now we can see the improvements made in the leadership election procedure in the BNP after Nick Griffin beat John Tyndall, amid the former's claims of leadership chicanery, the fuhrerprinzip under attack, the need for financial clarity and more.

Surely all the above - handled as stated above - can only strengthen Nick Griffin's position, and once and for all prove that the BNP is truly democratic, with finances open to the memberships' view, with positions and wages not given to cronies...?

After all without such open and obvious procedures and assurances, it would undermine the BNP's capability of attacking NuLab or the Tories on similar matters...
