Ummmm, harmony made one very good point... She or he said soemthing along ther lines that most parties have checkered pasts... This is very much true... Look at the Democratic Party which enjoyed a lot of success in the 40's and 50's with a Southern coilition of Dixiecrats who were not much more than a bunch of redneck racists...

And look at the Republican party... It actively recruited former Nazis and Nazi sympathizers after World War II into its ranks... Google "History of the Heritage Council" fir details...

As fir the BNP I must confess to not knowing much about them as a here & now party.... Maybe I'll do a search and see what they satnd for *today*....
