they get money from Brussels. Which is reassuring.

which I don't find worrying when tinpot parties like UKIP can get 13 seats. Shows how shite they are at forcing people to vote for them.
And that is 2 seats in 736. They will get fuck all done. Also, bear this in mind, they are outnumbered by Malta, Luxembourg and Estonia by at least 2 and a half times ;)

from groups like the Greater Romania party etc. They wield absolutely no influence and have never succeeded in actually getting any legislation passed. To have influence in a legislative body requires the forming of alliances with other parties. Other MEPs won't even stand next to the far-righters in the lunch queue apparently, so I think we have little to fear. One MEP's salary isn't going to help the BNP all that much. That will buy about 30 seconds of TV air time a year.
