Presumably it means that Garry Bushell is in favour of state control
of an integrated transport system, with greater use of light railways,
trams, cycle-ways and pedestrian friendly areas.

Fortunately their FAQ runs along the lines of
1. Are you Nazis?
2. Are you sure you're not Nazis?
3. So you're definitely not Nazis then?


Interesting idea - a political party which describes itself using a cut
and paste from Wikipedia - complete with [citation needed]...

That could be fun if a serious party tried it.

Just a thought - perhaps they are part of the problem. Housing for

not to mention all the others. But you go back to your dreamworld and
don't let reality trouble you. This isn't the forum for this anyway.

Try and think a little about the reality facing people targeted by the
Nazi groups and think again about whether you want to give them
respectability. You are preparing the ground for them.

The railway related term is "no platform".
