The hard working (but unfortunately Tory) Marina Yannakoudakis has become the first Brit of Greek origin to become one of London's Euro MEP's. She fought a vigorous campaign and used Greek community sources to increase her profile. The lesson to the Labour party is a simple one. Don't ignore an active minority of voters who will go out and support activists on principle.
The worst news is of course that the far right BNP has won two seats in the north of England. A sad day for democracy! The No to Europe and yes to Democracy party (yes to dreamland more like it) didn't get much support as was expected. Instead it gave the right more support by splitting the Labour vote. Will they ever learn?

So are you supporting a Tory now? What if this woman is Greek she is still a Tory. You must be confused.
