they're all portraying this 'BNP in Europe' thing like thousands of new people went out and voted BNP for the first time in protest.
which, frankly, is bollocks. The reason they got their seats was through the european proportional representation system.
In both seats the BNP obtained, their vote count was lower than that in 2004, but because there was a significant decrease in support for other parties, their overall proportion of vote total was greater than before.

It's European elections, though, it's a bit of a protest vote
so to some retards it doesn't matter who they vote for as long as it's NOT Labour.

I'm more worried about the UKIP getting so much support, really. I'm not utterly convinced that's not just racism lite.
(, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 16:27, archived)
However, you've got to consider that they still now represent us in Europe*....
... thus the rest of europe, and the world as a whole, will think that their supported by our country. It's also a sign as to the future of this country when the propper elections happen next year (or whenever they happen).

It maybe a relativly small voice they've been given, but it's still giving them one.

On the other hand, if the people vote for them, then we have domocracy for a reason, it's the pitfalls of giving the people a vote, and at the same time, the media scaremongering the people into falling for BNP's scare tactics.
