Isn't it pretty far outside of our purview to be providing a soapbox for some controversial political parties and not others? Why do we allow any of this crap? What justifies allowing people to proclaim their affiliation with one party and not another? I'll agree that Nazi is beyond the pale, but where, precisely, is "the pale"?
I believe (or hope, perhaps) that Wikipedia administrators are rational adults and capable of discerning the difference between an acceptable use of a Wikipedia userpage and the unacceptable use of it as a soapbox for views "beyond the pale", and as such can discern the difference between a normal, sane political party and one that advocates the extermination of whole categories of other human beings.
