If we accept FN, then it would be assumed that we accept the BNP.

The FN and the BNP are quite close. the BNP were involved in the discussions that led to the forming of the short-lived fascist ITS group in the EP. FN were also members of the ITS. They have a great deal in common... both their party leaders have been in trouble for holocaust denial, etc, etc,....

One might argue, that if we do accept this (tenuous) link between Ind Dem's French member and FN, but don't accept the BNP as allies insofar as they are also our "enemy's enemy", that this must be simply because FN are not our rivals in British electoral politics and the BNP are.

What the hell does that make us?
