BNP: Not in My Name

Sign the petition to tell the far-right they don't represent us at all...

The BNP did not win anything in Bristol or the South West, but did win 2 seats as MEPs in the north. This was far, far less than the 5 seats they were hoping for - but still 2 too many. However the actual number of votes cast for the fascists was LESS than the 2004 elections, just that so many voters stayed away that they won a greater percentage of the vote. Now a petition has been launched to tell them that with dwindling support, they don't represent us at all...

There is also a petition "Not in my name; the BNP have won seats in the European Parliament - but they do not represent Britain"; it is for people to register their opposition to the BNP. See the petition at:
http://action.hopenothate.org.uk/page/s/notinmyname

The petition will be handed in to the European Parliament on the day Nick Griffin and Andrew Brons take their seats.

The European Parliament reconvenes with the new MEPs on 14 July.
