ALTHOUGH I have never voted, as I am not yet 18, I am fully aware of the way the BNP recruits people and how it is damaging to our community.

I agree with the correspondent (Your Letters, Dec 13) about free electricity for our OAPs in the coldest weather and that Labour have their priorities wrong, but people who come to live in Britain are also in desperate need. Are we to turn our backs on people in need just because of their nationality? According to the BNP the answer is yes!

My philosophy of "fair play" politics should be given a chance in this country, but the BNP certainly wouldn't provide it. So I and other young voters are thinking about voting for the Liberal Democrats.
