They didn't do well. They did what Facists often do. They profited as a result of voter apathy.

Well, we are still technically a democracy. That means that any political party has a right to hold their own beliefs and express them, no matter how much other people may find them objectionable or offensive.
The BNP are personally offensive to me (as I have stated many times on this forum), but they *are* a legitimate party.
Besides, they do seem to have an unerring habit of making themselves look bad, so giving them more exposure could be a good thing.
