Wipeout for BNP

[Gromit]

The BNP has suffered several defeats in the local elections. They have lost all twelve councillors in Barking and Dagenham, as well as its two councillors in Stoke on Trent, its two councillors in Sandwell and its only councillor in Leeds and Solihull.

It is like the NF all over again. The Great British public have rumbled them and want nothing to do with them. There will now be expulsions, schisms, recriminations and self destruction of the BNP.

Time for another name change perhaps?

> The Great British public have rumbled them

Or has there been an organised campaign of people voting against them, just to get them out, or keep them out.

Same difference VHG I'm ashamed that one of the two left is from Leeds.

thanks to the much derided Westminster voting system, yes, a wipeout. But in actual voting figures, no - twice as many as the Greens. They came fifth; fourth was Ukip, with getting on for a million votes.
