Political pacts are offered by the most unlikely of prospective and/or distasteful allies all the time; I hope you’re not so naive as to believe otherwise. It’s who we decide to spit and shake hands with that tells us where we stand.

Since you smell shit somewhere in that Wiki article, I’ll recount the entire paragraph in question for your consumption and, perhaps, comprehension:

Buster Mottram, a UKIP member who claimed to represent the BNP, made an offer of a pact between the BNP and UKIP for the 2009 Euro elections at a UKIP executive meeting. According to the UKIP website, Mottram “had to be escorted out by uniformed police officers.”[33]. UKIP leader Nigel Farage has told the BBC that there had been an attempt “over many months” to infiltrate and try to “demoralise” UKIP members into thinking there was no future without a deal with the BNP.[34]. The BNP has stated that Buster Mottram, an ex-tennis star, has never been a member of the BNP and that the pact was his idea only[35].

So …… which part of ‘Escorted out by uniformed officers’ gave you the notion that the UKIP were open to agreement?
