The British National Party has won two seats in the European Parliament. Fucking hell.

... and more likely because people spoilt their papers or neglected to vote than anything else. The turnout for elections is so awful these days, especially the Euros. But to think people put an x in that box... It's sickening and annoying and horrible. :(

Worse still, one of them is in Yorkshire. Never felt ashamed of where I live before. Grr.

Yeah, our local polling station said turnout had been very poor indeed, so it looks like a lot of people just didn't bother, and then creeps like Griffin get a toehold. It's really worrying that people can feel so in tune with BNP policies, enough to vote for them.
