Is their any sense in their argument?

The BNP have many different arguments and manifestos and claim to have moved on from the times when they were purely seen as a racist party. When Nick Griffin became the leader in 1999 he tried to modernise the BNP's image, move away from fascism and make them more publicly accessible. Their main argument for voting for them instead of other political parties is that they address the subject of immigration.
They state on their website that "Only the British National Party has the reasonable, sensible, fair and just immigration policy which will guarantee that Britain remains British." On the surface it seems they really do just want immigration sorting out because it seems the Labour government don't have sufficient figures or control over the situation at the moment. On the other hand they also state that "Given current demographic trends, we, the indigenous British people, will become an ethnic minority in our own country well within sixty years – and most likely sooner." However according to the latest census, 85.7% of United Kingdom is classed as "White British." Therefore its highly unlikely that "White Britons" will become the minority. Some of their statements on their website about immigration just show their racist views and how they don't welcome any other race or culture.
