European Election Results 2009

Anyone who wants an organisation can have one. What people object to is the BNP's policies. The BPOA are having their own organisation and hurting nobody.

You're accusing us of making excuses. Making excuses as opposed to what exactly?

That is politics yes, however the only thing people have to say about the BNP is racism, if the BPOA are allowed their organisation for black people then the BNP can choose to have its own policy on a whites only rule for themselves, they are also not hurting anybody.

The excuses you are all making is that its alright to have an organisation for one race, yet if another race has an organisation for itself then according to you all it is racist.

The BPOA is for black people, the BNP is for white people - now either they are both racist or they are not, make your decision.

Fantastic news for UKIP, BBC predict UKIP and Labour to come equal at the end. Hopefully UKIP gets a few over them.

Amazing and idealogical speeches both by Nigel Farage (UKIP Leader) and Daniel Hannan (Shadow Europe Minister) and something which politics needs, idealogy. I think Hannan could very well be the next Conservative leader, he has the charisma and a view on the EU which would rest very well with all Conservative supporters.

HOW CAN PEOPLE NAME THE BNP RACIST FOR HAVING A WHITES-ONLY POLICY WHEN WE HAVE A BLACK POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION?

Because it's just an incentive for minorities to join? And probably because they aren't threatening to kick out non-blacks, denying the holocaust, calling interracial marriage unnatural, mixed race children 'cursed', saying rape against women is okay, homosexuality a disease, the list goes on.

i can't believe BNP got seats... and I can't believe that you say the BNP aren't racist. I think one of their councillers saying 'if i had a gun, i'd go round and shoot some *Removed*' is a bit racist.

This country cannot call the BNP racist when we have organisations allowed such as the Muslim Council of Great Britain and the Black Police Officers Association. Either we have no divides over race or we allow divides over race, it must be equal and fair, not one sided. The BNP have just won a seat and i'd say good luck on them, they were fairly elected.

National share of the vote so far puts Labour under the Liberal Democrats, UKIP, Conservatives and other.

UKIP did very well. The leader seems to have a vision so good luck to them whether I support them or not. I do not think that you can equate an association with a political party though. You seem to have named all the ethnic minority associations which is telling in itself but the same thing could be said about the W.I., the girl guides, professional associations where you need certain qualifications to be considered. It's a bit of a spurious argument really. Yes the BNP were elected fairly but I still say they have a very dark side under the suited and booted public persona.

i don't understand why people are saying it costs so much money the EU, we spent $60bn+ on our military last year!
