Yes.
There is no other way to truly represent the population.
However, I acknowledge that you still need constituent links and therefore I admire the system in Germany which appears to be the best of both worlds.

Beany,

How would you propose to achieve that? Are you advocating Proportional Representation?

I've given this a great deal of thought, and I don't think that either fit the bill.

First of all, the BNP has a reputation among the electorate for being a collection of skinhead thugs. This is based upon their formative years, and no matter how much the BNP try to clean up their act and present themselves as a serious political entity, the stigma persists.

The UKIP is a single-issue party which I believe arouses suspicion among the majority of the electorate. It is all very well for the party to remove the United Kingdom from the EU, but then what? The country still needs to be run effectively and there are a multitude of problems facing it which need solutions.

I'd be interested to know if you think that either of the existing "mainstream" far-right parties (BNP, UKIP) fit in with your ideals. If not, why not - if I may ask?

True, they could start by changing the electoral system so that it accurately represents the people in this country.
