    Getting a few people elected is the best thing that could have happened to this party. There's nothing like having to do stuff for the people who voted for you to make them scrutinize a party.

    A few years back the BNP made a bit of a showing in some local councils. They were crap Councillors, didn't help their constituents and didn't show up for council meetings. Now they're gone (there were other factors contributing to this, I know).

    People who promote simple solutions to complex problems often turn out to be lazy in more ways than just the obvious intellectual one. Best get a few elected so we can all see that.

    I still can't get over the fact that enough people in my region voted for that idiot to be our MEP.
