The thugs of the far-right kept a low profile during MEP elections, but now they are trying to assert themselves.... Together we can stop them - again.

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.

In the South West the BNP and it's racism has been opposed.

June 2009 sees the elections for MEPs, Members of the European Parliament. I noticed it when I saw the Green party has opened an office in Old Market; but this article is nothing to do with the Greens, it is about a real threat to our democratic values, and a call to action. read full story / add a comment
