The slippery slope which always happens means the BNP could land on the list of extremists groups in the future due to a few of its members. Similar groups that popup would get the same designation. It's not hard to see how they might become illegal in the future or if they tried to come in to existence today.
Without the BNP we might not have had UKIP and further down the line a referendum on the EU. So trying to silence and ban groups or parties that have different views is a dangerous thing to do as it can effect politics and the country.
Everyone should be allowed to have their personal views without being arrested for thought crimes. If someone commits a crime, arrest and punish them. Instead we have added thought crime to an existing law just to arrest and silence people.
