Should establishment politicians set an example?

There has been a move to Shun the BNP in the London Assembly. "Boris" does not intend to pay any attention to Mr.Barnbrook. 400 protestor turned up to "Force" Mr.Barnbrook from office.
Is this a democracy or not? Mr.Barnbrook is the fairly elected representative of Londoners who have chosen him as their spokesman.
Is "Boris" suggesting he is democratically entitled to "Shun" the people whom Mr.Barnbrook represents? Where is the freedom or the right to hold "Diverse" views?
Does "Tzar Boris" intend to run his office in such an overtly discrimnatory style? This undemocratic behaviour from establish ment figures makes the BNP look good and, in the UK, wins support for the underog. Boris is unDemocratic.
Even the journalist Nick Cohen (Evening Standard) has said that to ignore the people who voted for Mr.Barnbrook, might prove to be a mis-calculation on "Tzar Boris'" behalf.

Mr Barnbrook won his feat fairly according to the rules set down, however much I regret the fact that he did.

There should be no discrimination of any sort as regards access to faciltys, information, payment etc that he is entitled to as a holder of that office.

Mr Barnbrook should remember that he must attempt to represent all Londoners regardless of background and status whether they voted for him or not.

It is for other assembly members and the mayor to decide to what extent they work with him, and they can be judged on that by the electorate.

I hope personally that come the next election he is placed back in political obscurity.

I believe that its time to move on from the so called democratic/electorial type scam.
