In all seriousness, parties made up of / containing people with racist views should not be considered a legitimate option, even in a democratic society.

Some facist years ago mate. Do you think people should be allowed to vote for parties made up of paedophiles?

 

Past your bedtime, I think. I'm not sure which party you think is made up of paedophiles or why I support them. Please do enlighten me.

Bedtime? I don't follow?

 

I don't know who you support or think a party is made up of paedophiles.

 

I am trying to say that if you think it's okay to vote for a party made up of racists(Ukip), would it also be okay to vote for a party made up of say, murderers?

I'm saying you seem to be getting a bit over excited with the comments you are making. I'd still like to know your source for the Nazi remark. All I have said is if you don't vote for who you believe in then you should be ashamed of yourself. With regards to UKIP, if you see my comment further back, I am not a UKIP supporter. However, the racism card is a cheap and easy one to play as it is such a blurred line between what is racist and what is merely unpalatable to some people's views. Where actual racism or similar unacceptable views or behaviour have reared their heads within UKIP, it seems to me that Farage has been quicker to expel offenders than some of the other parties. What I do believe is that people should vote for any legitimate party that they feel represents them. That's democracy as I understand it. To turn your own argument around, do you think somebody shouldn't vote for a party if you disagree with their policies? The idea of murderers and paedophiles is just taking the degree of the argument to the ridiculous.
