An interesting debate point

I play cricket at weekends and during the week at a local cricket club for their U15 Colts side. As I've been going for about six years, me and my dad've got to know the club and the people (not much has changed), so my father was asked last year if he'd like to take on the position of First XI scorer. he gave it a go, and found that he both enjoyed it and found that it was a good way to keep from stagnating at the weekends and in summr holiday, and also that he enjoyed it. So this year, I've taken on the responsibility of Second XI scorer, and am enjoying it a lot. Anyway...

There has been much debate in various club bars over a player by the name of Alastair Sykes, who admitted (after about five pints one evening) to have voted for the British National Party, a group of far-right fascists. The next afternoon, he confirmed that not only did he vote BNP, but that he was proud of having done so. The debate is over what to do with him. Most of the Seconds, and a few of the Firsts who've played in the Seconds, think he should go, including the captain. The rest of the Firsts, the groundsman and most of the Third XI say that his voting choice is his own business.

What does the Forum think? Should Syksie stay or go?
