In the UK, there are more political parties than you can shake a stick at, and many people are so sick of the corruptness of our politicians, that
they use their free-will choice and vote for a minority party. Whether this is a 'protest vote' I don't know. Sooner or later a BNP candidate was
bound to get elected, as they happened to put up a candidate at the right time, when people are so fed-up with how we are being governed in
Britain.
The fact that we have minority party choices in Britain allows people to express disatisfaction at the Ballot Box, rather than by riots or armed
incidents which take place in other countries. Oh how I miss not having an 'Official Monster Raving Looney Party' candidate in my constituency this
time, as they are surely the best ever choice for protesting voters in Britain, reflecting as they do, that eccentricity of British life which makes
it still worth living here.
These are classic quotes from their website:
" I have come to change the government, not to praise it."
"There is nothing more monstrous than politicians". Screaming Lord Sutch
"If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving isn't for you " R.U.Seerius

If you don't live in Britain, don't judge us by the fact that a BNP Candidate has been elected, judge us on the basis that we have a great variety
of choices available, and people are free to vote for whom they like, even though you don't approve of their choice. Perhaps it's a bit too grown-up
for your liking.
