The public attitude for widespread political change only increases every single year. The institutions and systems which seemed sacrosanct only decades ago are, rightly, being called into question for their total inability to deal with the problems of today. People want an alternative, which leads to the question of why the alternatives, particularly nationalist alternatives, continue to perform so poorly not just at elections but as factions of the political spectrum as well.
And the answer is simple: A complete lack of vision
As much as many of our people lament the rise of the 'left' into every aspect of society, this was largely because they at least offered some kind of visionary alternative to the problems of the present. It is not a vision that we agree with, because it is ultimately driven by a con-artist's desire to make money and a flawed understanding of the natural world, but it is a vision nonetheless. What the 'right' offered in response to this vision was only reaction and Conservativism. In other words, preserving the problems.
It is no surprise which of those two options is more appealing.
Old Nationalist politics of today is absolutely blighted by the exact same issue. It is overwhelmingly driven by a desire to 'turn back the clock' or to 'preserve' the old status quo, ignoring the fact that the old systems and institutions are the reason we even have a problem in the present. As the wider public desire not the persistence of their lives' problems, they have no use for parties which simply offer them a chance to carry on things as they are, OR, to wind back the clock so that the exact same problems can arise once again in ten or twenty years time.
The lack of vision is apparent by doing the following: Take the manifesto or agenda of every nationalist Party in Britain, then take the same from the Conservative and Reform Parties, and remove the Party name at the top. You would be hard pressed to identify the differences. There is no great vision, no great alternative, no genuine 'third way' being offered.
The future, and success, of the Nationalist Agenda is not going to be found in the reactionary politics of yesterday, it will be found in the vision for a better tomorrow.
