BNP take two council seats unopposed in Conwy

In the Local Town Council Elections in Colwyn Bay, North wales
The Council will now have a BNP (British National Party) Majority.
This week 3 BNP Councillors were Appointed because No one would stand against them, or come forward even as Independents as it was leaked for the up coming National Elections on May 1st.
The other Member to be appointed unelected for another ward is Plaid Cymru Party (The National Party of Wales) the Lady Member as it happens is Asian as is disgusted what has happened, and feels fear for the Growing Asian Community now the BNP are gaining ground.

Firstly why do Major events like this Slip through reporting other than on Regional News, Local papers etc.
This growing Party which in the Last elections in Wales took 9% of the vote and could now start even taking proper Seats in the Assembly.
Yet the MP for area just plods on that no one wants the BNP and won't vote for them, but just look what is happening.

One additional Candidate said he was Tricked into Signing and standing for them and will withdraw his name, only to be replaced by another unelected person.
No one gets a Vote as only BNP candidates, how can this happen?

I know many people are fed up with the Governments handling of number of Foreigners in the UK but surely a Party with this representation is not the answer, or is it?
People in Wales seem too think so.

"The people get the government they deserve" comes to mind. (Who's quote was that anyway?)
Appointed unopposed says it all. That's how things are going; no-one is really interested in politics if they have to actually DO anything. It just gives the extremists at both ends a free rein.

I don't think politics comes into saying that people don't care enough about it.
