British elections: Racist BNP shut out

The word "racist" is recklessly bandied about throughout the western world, but the British National Party really is a racist group. Yes, they oppose Sharia law, but as the old saying goes, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

The BNP has had modest success in low-turnout municipal and European parliament elections. It won two seats in the last Euro elections, one of those winners, BNP chairman Nick Griffin, was thought to have a chance of winning a seat in last week's UK parliamentary elections in a London East End constituency called Barking. But Griffin was barking up the wrong tree, he ended up finishing a distant third. Labour held the seat.

Elsewhere throughout Britain, the BNP was on the losing end.

Good.
