Most of the BNPers on councils act like Greens and Laborites - stop sprawl, stop Wal-Mart-like mega-stores, protect historical sites, etc.  They also want to cut taxes, I think, but they're pretty center-left on a lot of local issues.

The Populists - pretty much everybody was some shade of racist, even Yankees weren't too pleased with black people (unfortunately).  They didn't really have any platform on black people, but then nobody really did anything then except the Democrats, who focused on Jim Crow.  The Populists were dominated by two issues, economics and identity.  They represented the identity of farmers and miners, and they wanted free silver inflationism.  In other words, basically they WERE their economic beliefs, very little beyond that.

The KKK - not fascist in that their rhetoric was very constitutional, they want to conform to their racist view of the Constitution.  They also have a very religious view, where the Fascists were more pragmatic or scattered on religion (at least outside Croatia).

Well, they run on anti-development platforms.
