07 Sep 09 Should democracy embrace the undemocratic

Clip for the Guardian which is all over the news about BNP appearing on Question Time. I like to think that people are wise enough to see through the BNP, but there is evidence to suggest that either they are not or that the BNP are, offering something that, while I find it repulsive, others feel is valid and have every right to be heard.

The British National party has welcomed the BBC‘s decision to allow its leader, Nick Griffin, to appear on Question Time following the far-right party’s success in the European elections.

Although the BBC has yet to issue a formal invitation, the corporation is preparing to ask Griffin to join the panel show and is already consulting other parties about appearing with him.

The party, which won two seats in the European parliament in June, has not appeared on the programme before. Some parties, including Labour, have previously refused to share a platform with the BNP because of its policies on race. A spokesman for the party said yesterday: “Obviously it’s good news. Of late, a large proportion of Question Time has been devoted to assaults on the BNP, so it’s rather welcome that we are allowed to defend ourselves.”
