The dust has almost settled. My assessment of how the BNP performed.

[daftpunk]

Ok, they didn't make the political breakthrough I'd hoped for, but if you look at the results they are actually very encouraging.

The BNP got 563,743 votes (dispite only fighting half of all the available 650 seats)

They got 10% of the vote. That is pretty amazing for a small party, and under proportional representation those votes would result in seats.

NC will merge with someone (eventually?) and as one of his main aims is to push through PR it's all good for the BNP.

What do these results mean for the BNP ?

The tripling of the BNP vote on May 6th has some important implications.

Firstly, where they went head to head with UKIP and the Greens they thrashed them, they overtook UKIP in 178 seats, and UKIP have far more money than the BNP, and of course UKIP and the Greens are favoured by the media.

Secondly, while all minority parties were pushed to the edge by the bigger parties, the BNP's vote not only help up, but proportionally increased when compared to their June 2009 Euro election results.

The BNP are here to stay, and although the election was a disappointment in some respests, it was a clear sign that 1000's of people up and down the country support the policies of the BNP.

And let's not forget, political pundits had all but written off the Labour party after they lost the 92'election....

They went on to win 3 elections.

Real makemeacupoftea here, lets play whats that noise,
Woooooooomb

DP - I apologise. Yes, I misunderstood your thread, and I can see you weren't calling me a coward. Sorry.

And you, and your DH, did give me a lift home, for which I was/am very grateful.

And I enjoyed meeting you, on the two local meet ups.

I thought you were lovely, and I have supported you on MN because of this.

But all of that was before you started spouting your BNP stuff.

As I have said, several times, if you have these beliefs, you are entitled to them, and to express them fully on MN.

But what I take great exception to is the way in which you talk to people on MN who are:

muslim
gay
families with children who have SN

The BNP is a truly horrible political party, and it does you no favours to say that you are an activist for them.

I say, for one last time, please reconsider your views. Think about all the people here who you have talked with, who may be black, muslim, gay or who have children with disabilities - and consider how much they are human beings who deserve egalitarian and compassionate treatment.

I would love to believe that you are a considerate, Christian woman.

Anyway, back to my FA Cup Final shag with dh.

He had a broken arm at the time ...

night pinkfizzle, nice to meet you!
