BNP vote slashed in Sandwell
posted by: Nick L | on: Friday, 2 May 2008, 08:45
Just been comparing this year's election results in Sandwell to previous years and the scale of the BNP decline is startling. In 2006 the BNP averaged 33% in the wards they contested. Last year it slipped down to 24% and now it has fallen even further to just 17.4%.
There vote declined in every single ward, in some cases by as much as 50%.
Well done Sandwell. This is the product of a robust policy of confronting the BNP rather than ignoring them.

Morning anti-fascists averywhere! Sanwell and the rest of that part of the UK I hold so dear has chosen hope over hate. Brill!! People in Tipton ain't as 'saft' as the BNP think they are (that's Tiptonese for daft/soft!)
