At first glance it seems an acceptable result for the British National Party in the Hayling, Three Rivers District, Hertfordshire by-election held on the 24th of this month.

The Party's candidate Deirdre Anne Gates won 18.8% of the vote and trounced the Liberal Democrats but when you take a closer look it is clear that the BNP took a bit of a beating and we have to ask why?

1. Labour:  53.9%   (+21.6% on 2008) 487
2. Con:  21.0%  (-4.7%) 190
3. BNP:  18.8%  (-11.5%) 170
   
4. LD:  6.2%  (-1.4%) 56

The BNP dropped 11.5% and the Labour Candidate increased his majority from just 14 votes to 317.

For Labour to increase their vote when they have been proven to be corrupt.  When they are still getting our young men killed in foreign wars.  When they have stolen the peoples pensions.  When they are promoting paedophilia and homosexualting in our schools. When they aiding and abbeting in the genocide of the True British People, one as to ask why the voters still put an X by the name of the Labour Candidate?

Was their man Stephen King some kind of local hero?

The Party needs to learn some lessons here?  Are they not being outspoken enough?  Are they losing their anti-establishment edge?   Did our senior people spend a day there canvassing in support of Deirdre? 

A couple of MEPs and a London Assembly Member would have done wonders for local moral and publicity,  If they were there then I apologise.  If they were not there then they should have been.

Lots of questions to be asked here and hopefully lessons learnt.  There is a general election coming and Labour are supposed to be loathed and reviled and heading for obscurity but this result means that we can no longer take that as a given.

Well done to the BNP candidate and all her activists and supporters.  Next time.
