How can my vote for the MEPs (European Parliament) have an influence?

BNP banned from Parliament...What has happened to our democracy and who are the real fascists?

  • Following action by John Mann MP and a vote in the House of Commons, MEPs including the BNP’s Nick Griffin and Andrew Brons will be denied Parliamentary passes and access to House of Commons facilities thus putting an end to a 20 year precedent. Mr Mann’s early day motion was signed by dozens of parliamentary colleagues. It noted that while Euro MPs had traditionally been granted passes to the Houses of Parliament, the reverse was not true for UK MPs trying to access European parliamentary services. Harriet Harman, leader of the House of Commons, was reported to have said that the decision applied to all parties and was made after a review of the rules relating to passes, and concern about the pressure on facilities. John Mann MP, chairman of the All-Party Group Against Antisemitism, said: “This stops the BNP parading round here as if they're legitimate politicians.” http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/21140/bnp-banned-parliament John Mann MP and the others have tabled this new law specifically to ban the BNP from coming into the houses of Parliment....what has happened to British democracy?

How long should it be before people are banned from voting for them? The place is full of liars cheats and thieves i would prefer it if the BNP did not pick up these bad habits anyway.

MEPs should not be granted access to the UK parliament irrespective of political affiliation. Ok, we know the BNP are a bunch of allegedly deranged individuals, and their policies are unwanted, however if they are elected they have the right to be treated with the same respect as any other politician. Of course all politicians are crooks so therefore deserve nothing but contempt.

Nothing wrong in the BNP being denied access to democracy. Democracy works both ways. Since BNP denies membership to people who do not fit in with their ’profile’ then they must accept that it can work against them too! In any case MEPs should have no reason or rights to seek access to the House of Commons. Well more than a million voted for Hitler – that didn’t make him right

Who do the MPs think they are? They seem to be behaving like the Prosecutor, ,judge,. and Jury . When will they become the executioner as well. The sooner we get rid of these Anti-Democrats the better we shall all sleep. It is plain to see that when the going gets tough labour Politicians will resort to Foul means.Vote rigging too.

Why should we let Nazis into our parliament. Did we not sacrifice enough 60 years ago to stop it happening?

Stone age ideology, Divide and conquer, totalitarian economic control, divide with the use of bureaucracy and idiots in the media who indoctrinate children by referring to people in a condescending categorical way. Did you know they still deal in guilds and guilt's whilst they killing solders washing humanity down the drain instead of banging their own heads together in world Parliament. Still the same, still robbing the world as well as their own people instead of supplying them with a little knowledge.

Following your logic; a million people voted for the BNP therefore they are legitimate, millionS of people voted for the Labour party, which has 6 black and Asian MP's, does that make them legitimate.

What will they do next year, when the newly elected BNP MP's enter parliament?
