I don't think you appreciate what the BNP are, handofdave. They are not like the Republicans in the US. That'd be the Conservatives, who are not 'marginalised'. Indeed they are likely to be the next British government.

The BNP are more like the Ku Klux Klan. Which is why any rise in their support is a real concern.

Given the history of the British Union of Fascists, the NF and British Movement et al I can see why you would say that. Though the BNP look much more like the Tories of my youth to me. I guess the question here is at what point did the likes of say Sinn Fein stop being a political wing of the IRA and become a legitimate party?

Because what seems to be on the table here is a whether the BNP are fought with more persuasive policies or fought on the streets and in the courts as a pariah?

Also on the old left < > right political compass the American right (who get enormous amounts of air time) would make the BNP look like Tony Blair by comparison.
