I'd like the light shone on the employees in the expenses office.
As regards voting, I'm not going to vote for a party I don't want to vote for simply to deny the BNP a seat. In my view, the correct action is either to vote for a party or candidate who you actively would like to represent you, or not vote at all.
I detest the argument that people gave their lives for us to vote etc. The fight was for the _right_ to vote, which is not lost just because it's not exercised at every election. In my view, using it to vote for something or somebody you don't wholeheartedly believe in is more disrespectful to those who fought for the right in the first place.
At least if the BNP won, I would imagine it would expose one of the fundamental flaws of our electoral system - they could win with just a handful of votes. Even when Labour had a victory that they were boasting about in a general election, only 21% of the electorate voted for them, taking into account the high proportion of the electorate that didn't vote. Is there any MP who was voted for even by the majority of people who voted? It wouldn't surprise me if the answer was no.

BNP London organiser and GLA candidate Nick Eriksen:
"Rape is simply sex, Women enjoy sex, so rape cannot be such a terrible physical ordeal...(it) is like suggesting force-feeding a woman chocolate cake is a heinous crime"
Mark Collett, leader of the Young BNP on channel 4 in 2004
"AIDS is 'a friendly disease because blacks, drug users and gays have it"
And you would vote for them philkool? Seriously?

I certainly do wonder what happens to these BNP party members and supporters when they need to go into hospital, do you think they actually refuse treatment if the person looking after them is not white British? I guess they keep their mouths shut and take the free treatment and are glad of it if the truth were told.
