BNP Leadership election farce .......................

NWN: What sort of election/game is it, where one of the contestants tells the other contestant the rules they are to play by ? That is exactly what Nick Griffin is saying in the below e-mail to Mike Easter.

Chris Jackson leadership election campaign

Dear Mr Easter

Following receipt of Mr Jackson's nomination papers for the 2007 BNP leadership election, and the close of nominations, I write to set out the way in which the contest will be run.

In setting this I am mindful of two key aims:

To ensure that the process is both fair and seen to be fair; and to minimise the opportunities for troublemakers to damage the party.
