Speaking after the announcement that the BNP have secured two seats in the elections to the European Parliament STUC (Scottish Trades Union Congress) Assistant Secretary, Mary Senior, said
“This is a dark day for British democracy. It is extremely disturbing that the BNP, an avowedly racist party, has secured enough votes for two seats in the European Parliament. We all have a responsibility to expose the BNP for what they are – racist fanatics, and to organise and campaign to give people positive political alternatives to their fascism”.
