Admittedly i know next to nothing about the politics of the UK but that is the first thing that came to mind as i was reading this.
That's the problem when the major parties get big heads with power and start to go corrupt or just fuck up.. it opens the door for the loonies to step in and make things even worse.
Personally i feel if the BNP wants to think that way they can.. but the UK is very different from America when it comes to stuff like free speech from what I've seen (as is the rest of Europe.) If the people want to elect them into office they must feel the same way, otherwise why would they throw their vote to them?
They WERE elected. Its not like they just moved in and took a seat. Taking that into account you have to then realize that the "problem" is pretty wide-spread. There have to be quite a lot of people who feel the same way over there.
As long as the don't go all Nazi there's probably little harm in them getting into office.
