Because people like Jörg Haider voted for him and his rancid party. They may be scumbags or just plain stupid, but if you deny them the right to be represented, someone else may feel entitled to deny you the same right. Bastards like Haider, for example, who exist everywhere.
The simple fact is this; give humans any degree of free reign, and they f**k it up. Who else was rooting for Chancellor Palpatine?
I'd love to say that nobody should make hard and fast rules for a grey area, but I'm far more practical than that. Somebody should, and probably keep a boot on the neck of anyone who starts bitching.
