I know that voting is generally impermissable unless its teh lesser if two evils but will groups like the BNP not constitute a threat to teh British Muslim Community? Just wondering if its possible to vote in order to curb teh successes of the BNP in teh UK as even if tehy win counil elections in certain area's they can ban masajid from being built and prevent Islamic Schools and other such things. It makes sense that voting for someone (doesn't matter who) would be beneficial for teh muslims in a worldy manner so what about Islamically? Do teh harms outweigh the benefits?

Below are some links which give the position of the Salafi scholars on the issue of voting. This should be sufficient to answer your questions insha Allaah.
