Here's one prediction www.predict09.eu/default/en-us/state_analyses.aspx#united

Cheeringly, it reckons that the BNP won't win a seat. Here's hoping.

Right, cheese sandwich then bed.

come on NW

Apparently BNP may have beaten UKIP by 2000 votes for last North West seat.

In the end it could come down to the ballot papers which were folded to hide UKIP and quite possibly send their voters to the BNP/other parties.

Oops.

sky news is saying that BNP has won - can life get more depressing?

Any indication when the result might come in, SG?

Maybe we could all get behind UKIP's calls for a re-run

kate, hang on to the fact that overall, the BNP have not increased the absolute numbers of votes polled - they've just increased their share of the vote due to TWATS WHO DIDN'T BOTHER TO VOTE

SomeGuy · 08/06/2009 01:50

It's ex-Labour voters who are to blame. They should have voted for another major party.

kate1956 · 08/06/2009 01:50

yeah i know it's just depressing that the fact they've got elected will legitimise them for many people and we can look forward to their nazi scum crap appearing on the media even more - can you tell I'm peeved! wish they would officially declare NW so i could go to bed but glad at least there's others up too!

SomeGuy · 08/06/2009 01:52

It's basically 98% that BNP have won in North West.

SomeGuy · 08/06/2009 01:54

BBC people don't understand PR. 2,448 votes more for UKIP, not 1,200......
