In a letter to all members in his region (illustrated – click to enlarge) regional secretary Cliff Williams writes to tell them that BNP "may be in a position to win the seat". This, writes Williams, "would be an intolerable situation". In Unison's view, "the BNP are a profoundly racist organisation…".
Williams then tells his members:
Unison believes that there should be no place for such a party in British politics. This being the case, Unison urges you … to use your vote, voting for the party most likely to keep BNP out of this seat.

Then we have organisations like unions, and the so-called "anti-fascist" organisation "Searchlight", sending out letters and leaflets (one illustrated), with instructions on voting.
Effectively, the main parties and their allies are reducing the electoral contest to one of BNP versus the rest, reinforcing the growing perception that there is nothing to chose between the main parties.
In those circumstances, there is probably only one appropriate response.
