BNP........

[Chicken Runner61]

Yes it was a poor performance. It was always going to be tough call because people will always vote for one of the big three regardless of their concerns about certain issue.

Well done to the Greens.

Thats not what you said a few months ago

You said we would be surprised

Alternatively, most people have more than one brain cell. My faith in the population has been restored.

I am the king of spin You have to talk the party up don't you. To be fair the BNP saved a few deposits. Even the NF saved theirs in Rochdale.

True the trade union and socialist alliance did really shit

 

[auschr]

waiting for the results from the respect, equality, socialism, peace, enviromentalism, community and trade unionism party

The Greens won?

 

[coventrygull]

The Greens won?

Cov, did you know the Green Party was formed in Coventry? An unlikely place for a party's roots but there you are

 

[severnside gull]

Just had a look down the bog but I think the BNP must have sunk without trace

 

[Simster]

I'm looking forward to algie coming on here. He was happily pointing out how cov had owned someone or other on here last night.

No owning being done by the British fat simpleton party this morning though eh? Back in your boxes, chumps.

I did know that. Yes its a strange one.

Dave Nellist of the Trade Union and Socialist Alliance did very badly up here. They were even beaten by the BNP

Why? That wasn't about the election it was about the thread

Let's hope we go back to hearing a lot less about them.

I hope we hear more about them, as it will mean the electoral system will have been modernised.

Plus the battle of Barking was terrific entertainment. Proving that the thick hoolies they like to recruit are even shit at fighting.

They will be using that video to recruit.

The BNP are particularly well placed to take advantage of the possibility of PR and a weak government. They are the fifith biggest party based on the national vote %, and I could see them getting 10% of the vote if we have proportional representation.

That's brilliant

That's brilliant

I see why you laugh but Le Pen polled 17.6% in France about 7 years ago.

6 or 7% at best for the BNP in the foreseeable future IMO.

 

[mikeyjh]

They've got more than double the green vote.... Would be the down side of PR, but that's democracy for you.

Yes, but that was against a divided opposition - the french left was in a hell of state.

There is PR in the European elections and the BNP got nowhere near 10% and that was on a lower turnout - they'd get a smaller share at a General Election. The 2009 European election was also held when Labour and Gordon Brown were at their most unpopular, just after the expenses scandal broke: that won't apply at a future general election.
