The fact that our government doesn't probably means the evidence isn't as clear as people would like to believe, and saying "I believe they are racist because of X, so there" doesn't wash in court.
Come on Damien, you're trying to paint me as either racist or stupid (or probably both), but i'm suprised that someone with a pedigree as liberal as yours is on the reactionary side here. Everyone deserves due process including those you dismiss as racist.

I don't see where I was trying to paint you as racist or stupid. I can't see where I even hinted at such an accusation but sorry if that was the case, it was not my intention.
I don't want them banned, but I still feel free to label them racist because of their policies and their actions. I see no conflict with my political views in that. I am not the only one to dismiss them as racist either; there have been countless undercover investigations, statements from former high-level members and their own constitution (re: The White Britain thing).
The 'due process' issue is redundant here as there is no criminal trail for being racist, nor should there be. I don't view being racist as a criminal offensive and I am not suggesting they be thrown in jail for such a offensive based on my personal belief that they are a racist party.
