2. Problem: Whatdo you do with Political parties thathave political views that may beinterpreted as extreme, or are involved incriminal activities? What do you do with Political Parties thatadvocate a political agenda that may beconsidered extreme or illegial activities? 3. Case Study 1: Sinn Fein An Irish Republican andSocialist Party. Advocated the Unificationof Ireland. They still today refuse to sitin Parliament even whenelected. They were often consideredto be the Political wing ofthe Irish Republican Army. 4. Sinn Fein Sinn Fein members such as MartinMcGuinness, Gerry Kelly and Gerry Adamshave been alleged to be IRA members. Sinn Fein do not recognise Northern Irelandas being a part of the UK and instead makethe assertion that it is under BritishOccupation. 5. Whats the Solution?Arefusual to recognise the full borders ofthe state. A refusal to sit in Parliament even whenDemocratically elected. Potential Involvement in TerroristActivities 6. The Response of TwoPriministers. Terrorists should not begiven a voice. Gerry Adams voice wasdubbed over on TV. Senior members of SinnFein were prohibitedfrom taking part inPolitical Debates on liveTV. The British ComedianSteve Coogan made askit on this policy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6UhXivPyw4 7. The Response of TwoPriministers. Implementation ofthe Good FridayPeace Agreement. A state recognition ofthe views ofRepublicans. A release of allRepublicans Prisoners. Negotiated adisarmament of theIRA in return for ademilitarization ofNorthern Ireland. 8. Case Study 2: The BritishNationalist Party. An Extreme Right political party. A successor of the National Front. Members have shared Platforms with the KKK. Historically Holocaust Deniers. Anti Islamic, Anti Immigration, Anti-multiculturalism. Support ideas of British Nationalism and a concept of Indigenous British Is alleged to encourage racial violence. 9. British Nationalist Party. Until 2010, the BNP only allowedmembership of the party to IndigenousBritish. BNP members are currently banned fromholding positions in the Prison service,Police service and also senior positions inthe Anglican Church. 10. Freedom of Speech VsIncitment of Hatred. The European Parliament has ruled that banning the BNPfrom trade unions, or certain professions is a violation ofHuman rights. However the Law in England gives the BNP freedom tofunction as a Political Party provided that they do notbreech the point of openly inciting hatred. However someBNP meetings are held in private. Organizations such as Unite against Fascism a pressuregroup, believe in protesting to prevent any BNP membersfrom having a platform, they regularly gatecrash BNPmeetings. In the 2009 UK election, the BNP were allowed for the firsttime to broadcast their Party Political Broadcast, providedthat it followed the Law. The BNP currently have two members in the EuropeanParliament.
