Suppose a Muslim cleric refused to work for a Jew, or pro-war politician, or a woman, or a homosexual? How about someone who refused to work for a pro-EU politician? It surely wouldn't have been difficult to think of reasons to not work for Ken Livingstone.
The 200,000 people who voted for BNP also pay for an administration and expect their money to be spent effectively. If the clerics want to be paid by their bosses, i.e. the voters, they should do their job, or otherwise not expect to be paid.
