More worryingly, it is looking increasingly certain that the far-right across Europe are going to team up with the far-left BNP to form an extremist group. This one is going to go down to the wire - the parliamentary group will require 25 MEPs from 7 different countries - but it looks set to happen. If it does, the BNP are going to receive a great deal more funding, commitee positions and speaking opportunities in the Parliament.
I've been told by a very reliable source that this group's fate may well come down to whether Geert Wilders throws his 4 MEPs into such a group. Wilders has in the past attempted to distance himself from people like Le Pen of the French National Front. Lets see if his actions are as loud as his words.
