and foreign criminals residing in British jails. Outlawing affirmative action practices in the workplace. Increasing the basic state pension to an acceptable level. Britain's role as a G8 country will be one of a humanitarian nature, with the aim of ending Third World poverty, through positive G8 policies. Its policy base was dismissed by the Daily Mirror which described the party as being "anti-European, anti-immigrant party. But wants free dental care for all, which is nice." Electoral activity The NNP's first foray into electoral politics came at the 2007 local elections with the party standing four candidates in Birmingham and one each in North Tyneside and Teesside. The presence of the party in local elections in Birmingham was by the Birmingham Mail as effectively ending any hope of the BNP gaining a council seat in the city due to a split far right vote. This was proven correct as the BNP's vote in the city fell considerably from its previous level. It obtained 357 votes across Birmingham and only 59 votes in Whitley Bay ward, North Tyneside. Ebanks managed 171 votes in Kingstanding and was not elected. Labour Party councillor Peter Kane, who won the seat, claimed that with the failure of the NNP "the Kingstanding people are sending out the message that we are a community which will solve problems together."
