WHITE working class voters have turned to the far-right British National Party because they feel ignored by mainstream politicians, a Cabinet minister said today.
Communities Secretary Hazel Blears called for a new drive against the BNP in the week of 12,000 names and addresses of the party's membership was posted on the internet.

Ms Blears, writing in a national newspaper, accused the party of playing on people's "apprehensions".

Duuuhhhhhh. For once someone high up actually says what has been common knowledge for years, in my case 6 years. Bet they won't do anything though.
From what I can find online, it seems Labour party membership was over 400,000 in 1997, down to 176,000 in 2007, I think the reasons why are obvious.
