This is where my agreement with you wrenches asunder with a loud groan. I cannot respect them just because they got elected, and that is a gut feeling and a political position - I dont think liberal democracy is the ultimate justice in a capitalist society and I dont think all voices have a right to be listened to - and the first example of voices I dont think have a right to be listened to are those inciting racial hatred.
Re your last para, I think it is important for those drawn to the BNP to see how much they are hated and/or not given legitimacy (and elected or not, for me inciters of racial hatred just dont have legitimacy).
