I'd rather people who feel like we do would get 'inside' the system and bring a fresh perspective and maybe we'll start to see some things change!
I agree also that the reason the BNP get in is because people think they do not need to vote and 'some else will do it'.

I'd rather work for somthing I want and not get it than vote for somthing I don't want and get it.
Voting for some braindead pro-religous trot doesn't stop the rise of the far right. If they get 0.5% of the vote or 0.7% doesn't make fuck all differnce.
There is alot of work to do attacking the kind of conditions that case the rise in popularity of the far right in Wales, however voting respect will not achive anything.
I have no doubt that were Respect ever to get into power there would be as much inequality and injustice for people to fight against as there is under New Labour.
No leaders for the free
