BNP byelection setback

The BNP's share of the vote in yesterday's Oldham East and Saddleworth byelection went down. Another sign of a fascist party in disarray.

This byelection was held in an area where the BNP are tradtionally strong, but their vote share has dropped. Here are the figures:


General election 2001 - 4th, 11.2%
General election 2005 - 4th, 4.9%
General election, May 2010 - 4th, 5.7%
Byelection, Jan 2011 - 5th, 4.5%

So, this is the BNP's worst performance in this constituency in 10 years and four elections, and shows how the party continues to struggle under Griffin's ludicrous leadership. Antifascists say - keep up the good work, Nick!
