I dont think you can just ban a political party. think of this, they now what? 50+ councillors plus, how do you explain the benefits of democracy to all the voters who chose to vote BNP by banning the party they voted for? 50+ councillors makes them the 4th political party in Britain. That is scary!

and it is not good enough to say, "because the people were duped", because they you insult the voter and you could actually say the same for any party. Tories claim public were duped by labour, vice versa, lib dems claim both duped public, all parties claim the BNP duped the public.

Democracy is not perfect, but it is its imperfections that make it a democracy. Only way to beat the BNP is by helping the other parties.
