I am not sure if John Cox understands the nuances of British politics.
The BNP are fascists.
Sorry for the spam but I thought I ought to clear that up.

No, it does not. Fred inadvertently sent this to all his contacts, and
didn't remove Ballad-L from this announcement. By the time he posted it, it
was too late for me to do anything.
Peace.

Has this got anything to do with ballads? If not, the email is spam.
Personally, I would rather see BNP candidates elected than Communist or
Fascist. But I am not aware of any campaign against Communists or Fascists
being free to vote how they wish. Their political views, like yours and
those of BNP supporters, are not relevant to this list.

Subject: Keep the BNP Out Of Europe
This email is being circulated to as many people as it can reach. It's
message is urgent, so please forward to everyone you know and ask them to do
the same.
The British National Party is fielding a number of candidates in the
European elections on June 4th. Their policies are abhorrent to the vast
majority of British people. Even so, there is a serious danger that they
will win a number of key seats. That is partly because MEPs are elected by
proportional representation, and partly because European elections attract
low voter turnout. Therefore, in some seats the BNP only needs to mobilise
its own supporters to win.
This Cannot Be Allowed To Happen.
For all their 'constitutional' façade, no less a body than the Daily Mirror
recently described the BNP as being 'packed full of criminals, thugs and
nazis'. It has links with many other avowedly fascist organisations in
Europe, and it has roots which go right back to the earliest days of
post-world war two British Nazism.
Giving the BNP a voice in Europe would:-
1. Unlock around a quarter of a million pounds of EU funding, to enable the
BNP to spread its vicious ideology even further.
2. Provide a platform and a forum where they can present a united front with
the other fascist parties in Europe.
3. Give them an air of spurious respectability, which they do not deserve.
You can help stop it happening
All you have to do is get out there and vote. Whether you're Labour, Tory,
Lib-Dem or Monster Raving Hot Air Balloon Party, your cross on the ballot
paper will help depress the BNP share of the vote, and help to keep them out
of Europe.
And if reports of crooked politicians lining their pockets at the tax payers
expense have put you off voting, just remember, the Nazi government was not
just the vilest regime in modern Europe, it was also the most corrupt.
