Maybe another voting poll would be a good idea?

Don't forget to include the "I couldn't give a smeg" option :)

If you take fascism more generally (authortarian, forcibly suppressing opposition etc) it does apply to a few people I know on the left of the political spectrum.

It's called not participating in the poll ;)

Communist states certainly have a penchant for totalitarianism...

Says a lot about their supporters

Best not to take it so generally and use the actual definition of the political ideology instead then. Otherwise its just akin to calling your annoying boss at work a little nazi. If you're trying to have a serious political debate, it doesn't bode well for your argument.

I am not sure that is against the rules, however inadvisable that maybe, to sit in both chambers. I think he is just after the double salary and double expenses.

Is it possible to donate directly to a MP's campaign? Say I don't want to donate to Labour in any way but do want to donate to their candidate in Barking?

Re: [Update] BNP on Question Time this week
 

I would have thought that would be achievable.

Re: [Update] BNP on Question Time this week
 

They do this for leadership campaigns (remember Peter Hain?) so maybe they'll do it for elections as well. Any money left over would probably end up going to Labour.

I would suggest if you're trying to prevent Griffin from being elected, you'd be better off donating time (canvassing etc). Although bare in mind Barking/Dagenham/etc is quite BNP-sympathetic so you'll have a bit of a job convincing them otherwise.
