There is a small clique of about 20 or so far right MEPsfrom 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.
