Comment: to Republic (political organization) the outfit he has headed up since 2005.  He's not nobody, he gets quoted in the press regularly and has done since 2005 when he became head of Republic. I have not read the hundreds of articles where he is quoted, but I scanned a couple of dozen of them looking at the text surrounding his highlighted name.  It always starts  like this one, "Graham Smith, a spokesman for Republic, a pressure group calling for the democratic replacement of the monarchy by an elected head of state, said:..." (''BNP leader to attend Queen's garden party at the Palace,'' The Scotsman, 21 May 2009).  Links brought by IP 192.160.216.52 are  of this type.    Please feel free to ping me if you find a profile or enough info to source a  bio, I am always glad to resonsider an iVote
