The Electoral Commission has been emailed and asked to remove the British People's Alliance from the register.
In future, we will be endorsing but not fielding candidates, based on five policy priorities in each of the pro-life, pro-family, pro-worker, anti-war, economically social democratic, morally and socially conservative, and British and Commonwealth patriotic areas, as agreed with an independent representative in each of those areas.
Our Strasbourg campaign certainly goes on (though, of course, not using the name), not least here in the North East.
We will continue to communicate, by email only - info@britishpeoplesalliance.org.uk

Gosh! What went wrong?
Nothing.
Quite the reverse, in fact, as will soon become apparent.
We can and will have far more influence doing things the way that we will now be doing them.
We have changed tactics, that's all. We haven't gone away. And we won't be going away. Again, quite the reverse, in fact, as will soon become apparent.
What did all your ex-cabinet minister supporters have to say about this?
It was their idea. Well, two or three of them (not people whom I can imagine speaking to each other much, if at all) were among those who came to this conclusion at much the same time as I did.
The seven advisors, though probably not drawn from among them (age, &c), will be independent of the BPA as such, and we fully expect them to be top drawer. Again, several of the people we want suggested this change of tack in the first place.
Are you completely certain all of these people exist?
Ontology and epistemology are for other threads.
Why don't they try telling anyone other than you about all this stuff?
Why would they?
In fact, they have every reason not to. It's not all about you, you know.
Who would you like in these positions?
The people who will be announced in due seasson, of course.
"It's not all about you, you know."
No, of course not. It's all about you.
Why not list their names? Just who you'd like, not necessarily those who have signed up.
If you say so, sweetie. You are nice.
Don't be silly, Immelman.
What on earth is so silly about asking you to give some hint about you want on your team? Why keep it a secret?
BDJ will be having a good laugh. You have probably made his day.
I have it on impeccable authority that he isn't and that I haven't.
Herman, what sort of New Labour/Cameroon amateurs do you think we are?
What have the membership got to say about this?
Right behind it. Couldn't have happened otherwise.
There must have been some debate though, surely?
Conducted in private, as these things should be. It is decisions of this nature that are public. As this one now is.
How big was the room where the debate was held? Did you need an overflow hall?
It's a wonderful thing, this electricity.
I am an ex-Cabinet minister and I can confirm that the BPA enjoys strong support on all sides at Westminster. David is biding his time.
Oh no I'm not. I'm very, very busy. What a difference a day and a change of tack make...
I'm an ex Minister (never Cabinet, sadly) and when I typed in the BPA from a Downing St computer I discovered I wasn't the first to have looked at it.
If you are telling the truth, then I know exactly who was there before you.
Not a politician, but I am political editor of a national newspaper - David will be able to guess, if he doesn't know - and we were planning our coverage of the European elections in expectation of a BPA vote rivalling the Greens' triumph in 1989. I'm certain it will come. Keep worrying the powerful, David.
Don't worry, I will.
I assume that this comment is a joke (sorry if it isn't), but someone from Fleet Street has just emailed me with the very detailed breakdown of how, if things pick up between now and spring 2010 (as of course they will, and are already doing even today), the BPA, the CLUK, the ONS and the 99 Club could make the difference to the outcome in 150 seats.
Hello - its the ex - Minister (not Cabinet) again - sorry for the anonymity, but it's obvious why. I know who looked at it before me at No 10 as well - very well, in fact...
I also have a sneaking suspicion who the journalist who posted just below me is - if I can take the liberty of addressing them directly here, didn't we have that very interesting lunch in Shepherd's a few years back discussing this and other similar issues?
Email each other please, people.
But with all due respect David, I can't - after all, I'm not sure who the journalist is, and he / she might not know my contact details since I slipped from office so unfortunately. If you could just let them confirm - if they know the answer to my question, then their identity will be confirmed, and we will all be a little wiser about the extent of the BPA sympathetic group across the political - media network of London. Very many potential opportunities indeed...
The ex-minister is right in his guess. It was Shepherd's on Marsham Street.
David, I understand that some people in the blogosphere have been sceptical and rude about your project, but it is an incredible feat to have pulled off and I am indeed who I say I am. You've been concentrating on building support in the North and have probably overlooked, or at least underestimated, just how much notice the BPA has been getting in the political-media-thinktank circuit in London. Some of us are pleased, others are very worried indeed.
All alike are free to get in touch.
I do of course have a small amount of conatct with the London think tank circuit.
