There's a lot of things to say against a two party system, but it sure does keeps down the extreme right as a political power. It still prefer proportional representation as a system, but it's far easier for the (extreme) right wing to gain a foot hold. Specially when it is front is a smart, normal guy like Geert Wilders or Filip de Winter.
"I met a racist, but she actually seemed quite nice". The author seems a little distressingly sympathetic to the goals and aims of the BNP to be honest...
I think "I met a racist, but she actually seemed quite nice" is really quite an important point - people with vile opinions about something might be entirely nice people in every other respect, you can't spot racists just by looking for people who turn every conversation around to how they want to kill all the n*****s.
It does distress me that the journalist appears to share the (not just BNP) position that "disliking immigration" and "racism" are not closely connected, and thus doesn't join up the clear dots between "wanting to protect my culture from immigration" and "racism".
