The far-Right British National Party has won seats in a national election as Labour crashed to poll humiliation.
BNP victory came in the North West region, where leader Nick Griffin was elected an MEP.
In his victory speech, Mr Griffin claimed there was 'a deep, dark stain' on the way the country's democratic system is run.
'It also is not just a matter of mass immigration, although that is an obvious symptom of it, it is handing us over to be ruled by unelected bureaucrats in Brussels, it's turning the common wealth of this country, our public services, into private properties for giant corporations, in banning St George's Day festivals while encouraging everyone else to celebrate their festivals, usually with taxpayers' money. In so many ways the liberal elite have transformed this country.'
