Article: BNP's Nick Griffin bows to pressure to accept non-white members | Politics | The Guardian. However, this is probably right: "Shami Chakrabarti, director of Liberty, said the changes would do nothing to alter the BNP's political views.

I'd have thought that in practice it wouldn't change likely recruitment: I really don't see south Asians or Afro-Carribeans queuinng up to join.

In a way it shows that such a party can't probably legally continue to exist, not if people were really free to join it and did so: by conforming to the law racists contradict their own principles. That said, I'm not sure whether I prefer that they are forced underground or at least not-legally constituted or kept where we can see them ...
