"We have to make it clear that one, two or even three BNP MEPs elected to Brussels will have very little effect on the workings of the Parliament and the Commission"

About this Quote
This quote by Steve Blake is describing the British National Party (BNP) and their potential to acquire representation in the European Parliament. Blake is recommending that even if the BNP were to gain one, two or perhaps three MEPs, it would have extremely little result on the workings of the European Parliament and the European Commission. This is likely due to the fact that the BNP is a minority celebration and would not have adequate impact to make any substantial changes. Blake is most likely trying to assure people that the BNP's presence in the European Parliament would not be a major issue. He is also likely attempting to dissuade individuals from choosing the BNP, as it would not have any real impact on the European Parliament or Commission.
