The scale of victory emerges

The BNP has done badly in West Yorkshire for the second year running. The Conservatives beat the BNP in its heartland seat of Queensbury, Bradford, by 200 votes.
In the end the Labour candidate defeated the David Exley in Heckmondwike by 194 votes. Back in 2004, Exley took with seat with a 600+ lead over Labour.
It appears that the anti-Labour vote, which has gone to the BNP in recent elections, has switched to the Conservatives. I'm hearing that there are a couple of wards in Bradford, including at least one in which the BNP had a councillor in 2004, where the BNP vote has totally collapsed. I'll get the exact information on this asap
