BNP win seats in Parliament

Although the BNP didnt win more votes than last time, they got in because they got a higher proportion of the vote and less people voted (I think).
I've said of course you should allow people who different points of view or opinions - thats what makes a society democratic and free.
But isnt the BNP getting in dangerous? I mean, I just mentioned Nick Griffins' right to air his opinions - but his party doesnt allow other peoples right to free speech - ethnic minorities, black people etc. So should he be allowed to say things which hurt people?
They were democratically elected though, like it or not. I don't support them, and never will, Griffin is a racist tosser.
