The argument that the rise of the BNP is the fault of the failing mainstream parties.

Sorry but if this is true I fear for the future of this country.

If there are genuinely people in this country stupid enough to vote for a fascist party just to piss off the mainstream politicians we are in big trouble.

If people want to protest then they should protest. In this day and age it's very easy to organise a coherent group of protesters who can write petitions or protest outside parliament or dress up as a monkey and climb big ben for god sake. But vote for a vile rascist bigot, I'm sorry but if you did that thinking your main goal was to annoy the politicians who've let you down you are simply a dick wad.

The idea of democracy is you vote for the party that most closely reflects your views. Votes should not be "used" for anything else.

I've got more respect for people who voted BNP because they agree with their policies than I do people that voted for them as a "protest vote".

Rant over, now I don't want to hear any more about it.
