BNP hardly move in Coventry

posted by: Nick L | on: Friday, 2 May 2008, 10:36

The BNP averaged 11.1% of the vote in the wards they contested in Coventry, up on the 9.3% they averaged last year. However, they stood in fewer wards this time so if you compare only the wards they contested in both years the BNP average only grew from 10.4% to 11.1%.

It's quite odd how what we might call "decent" BNP votes in the midlands begin in next door Nuneaton and Bedworth, then extend northwards and eastwards. My Norfolk Unity colleague Atreus, who originally hails from that area, tells me that N&B are more like east Midland towns, despite the proximity to Coventry, and that thirty years ago the National Front found it impossible to get anything off the ground there.
