If people want to vote for the BNP then they should be in parliament. Doesn't matter if you don't like their views; if they have 5% of the vote then they deserve representation.

Not so applicable to us; though Winston is heading along those lines.

I think if you do believe in a 'democratic', representive system, you can't just create the rules so groups / parties you don't like won't get in. As far as 'extremist' groups getting in - well if they are extremists then they won't get anywhere in parliament (people won't work with them). I believe that the views I have should be represented, as well as the views that I hate.
