The Community Action Party, which has a large group of local councillors in the Wigan area, has thrown its weight behind Peter Cranie and the Greens for the European Elections.
A party statement today says:
"Through the efforts of the Community Action Party we have so far succeeded in keeping the racist BNP and UKIP out of elected office in Wigan.
"We were the catalyst for change in Wigan that saw the growth in Opposition Councillors from just three in 2002 to thirty three in 2004, none of them from the racist BNP or UKIP.
"Now we are pleased to confirm our support for the Green Party at the forthcoming European Elections to keep the convicted racist BNP leader Nick Griffin out of the European Parliament."
Peter Franzen - Leader Community Action Party,
Bill Burrows - Chairman Community Action Party,
Kevin Williams - Vice-Chairman Community Action Party,
Tracy Lavelle - Secretary Community Action Party,
Community Action Party Councillors Jonathan Miller, Stanley Barnes, Jack Fagan, Louise Fagan and Paul Tushingham

We didn't stop Nick Griffin - but thanks for trying
Just 5,000 votes between him and Peter Cranie, but Nick Griffin was elected to the European Parliament early in the morning of 8th June 2009.
It's the last weekend before the election - time to get out and spread the word.
