Are minority parties fit for purpose?

Apart from Green party the rest left with nothing what a waste of money and resources,ban them all i say.

Hang on, the BNP have contributed £130,000 in lost deposits to the cost of running elections this tie round; where I live two constituencies raked in at least £2K apiece in lost deposits for BNP, UKIP, English Democrats, the Christian Party and sundry other fuckwits. Given that the costs of fringe candidates are marginal you may as well encourage them and see their lost deposits as a tax on bigotry, stupidity and general bollock brainedness.
Now why didnt i think of that:thumbup:

and it keeps them visable,i would be far more concerned by the underground fascists
One of the extremely rare occasions I agree with you.
At least you know where and who the BNP are, to try and ban them or anything along those lines will only push them underground.....a very dangerous thing to do.

Push Nick Griffin underground? Happily. We have a closed mine just down the road and I'm sure I could push him in if someone will help stop the bugger struggling.

I would not write him off too soon.

I agree - to get to the top of the foetid pile that is the BNP you have to be an experienced conspirator and infighter - hence my offer to find a suitable resting space for him. I've always had a soft spot for the BNP leadership - the quicksands of the Solway Estuary would make a ideal location for their next outing....

I think you will find that there are people much more nasty in the BNP than Griffin.
I think the hardliners will now boot him out, and replace him with someone who is more radical than he is.
They certainly will not like the humiliation of the election votes.

That would be really help draw more votes for them not!

What might happpen is that people who cast their vote for minority partys will go over to either Left or Right in order to stiffen up that party and effect change from the inside.
I can't see this Rainbow Alliance marriage lasting too long before it ends in a messy divorce and then we will have another GE and hopefully a clear winner.
