When political parties have a history of being racist, homophobic (and making them their policies), and only really exist to secure the position of the bourgeois through state violence / oppression, then yes, one less of them is a good thing IMO. I respect their right to exist as a political party as much as I do the BNPs but that does not mean I respect them.
Coupled with the fact I doubt you'd be defending people like Augusto Pinochet - (a good friend of maggies) or Nick Griffin for that matter if either of them went to an early death in a porta-loo.
