Anyone under the impression that the BNP had turned the corner after Cathy Duffy's half decent result last week will come back down to earth with a bump after the results of last yesterday's two results.

3 November 2011 - Syston Ridgeway - Leicestershire County Council
Stephen HAMPSON (Conservative) 981 52.13%
Colin LOVELL (Labour) 490 26.04%
Cathy DUFFY (British National Party) 279 14.82%
Richard MILLER (Liberal Democrats) 132 7.01%
Has anyone else noticed that the party bigs up certain by-elections where Griffinite sycophants are standing, yet totally ignore others?
How many people outside of Leicestershire realised that the BNP were contesting a county council by election on the 3rd November, not many I bet. It was not mentioned on any official party site. Cathy Duffy did very well under the current circumstances, but that was no doubt helped as this ward takes in the Borough Council ward of East Goscote where she is a very good councillor.
The BNP result was about 4.5% down on the 2009 result which is nothing to the 10% collapse suffered by the Lib Dems. Labour's vote rose by early 16% while the Conservative winners achieved a slightly higher percentage vote than last time out in this ward.

Two Election Results From 20th October 2011
For the first time in ages we have two by election results to post for 20th October 2011
Eccles By election - Salford
Lab 1227
Con 701
BNP 147 6.52%
LD 125
Ind 53
Labour were not taking this ward fro granted and flooded the place with activists on the day to get their vote out. Gun-toting Kay Pollitt stood for the BNP in Eccles. In all fairness this was the first time the party had contested this seat so around 6.5% given the current state of the party was probably about as much as could be expected.
Shortlands ward by election - Bromley
Con 1480
LD 490
Lab 256
UKIP 153
Green 75
BNP 35 (1.4%)
No surprises here with the Tories romping home. Not such a good night for the BNP in Bromley though. I am sure even the most sceptical of supporters would not have expected such a derisory vote.
Well done to both candidates for sticking their head above the parapet.

St Helens Ward, Barnsley By election
Thursday 13th October 2011
Dave Leech, Labour Party: 1,257, 75.1%
Danny Cooke, BNP: 174, 10.5%
Kevin Riddiough, English Democrats: 146, 8.8%
Clive Watkinson, Conservatives: 61, 3.7%
Edward Alan Gouthwaite, Ind: 21, 1.3%
2nd place looks good, but the figures tell a different story. 10.5% in a ward where in 2008 the party polled in excess of 30% shows how the party have slipped. Yes, in 2008 there was a very unpopular Tony Blair running the country, but since then you've had a Barnsley Labour MP convicted of fiddling expenses. The English Democrats picked up a respectable result for their first time standing in the ward.

Lower Stoke Ward - Coventry - 6th October 2011
Here is the result from the Lower Stoke ward by-election in Coventry held on the 6th October
Catherine Miks (Lab) 1,366 54.1%
Jaswant Singh Birdi (Con) 563 22.3%
Robert McArdle (Soc Alt) 254 10.1%
Keith Oxford (BNP) 149 5.9%
Laura Vesty (Green) 114 4.5%
Mark Widdop (Lib Dem) 79 3.1%
The BNP vote was comparable in percentage terms to when this seat was contested earlier this year, however, the Socialist Alternative vote increased by nearly 4% while the Green vote dropped by 3.3%. With a so-called right wing government it can only be expected that people will vote for parties towards the left. It is of no surprise that the Socialist candidate got a relatively good result in Coventry as they are well established and have had councillors elected in the past, such as former Labour MP, Dave Nellist.

Bolsover 25th August 2011
A very low key by-election that did not warrant a mention on the main party site at all, which is surprising given that the BNP scored a fairly respectable 10.29% of the vote, far in excess of recent derisory results. A few years ago the BNP would have had an excellent chance of winning this seat, however, it is no great surprise that the Greens appear to have become the protest vote of choice.
Having said this a vote of over 10%
Key, David The British National Party 43 (10.29%)
Musgrove, Ian James The Green Party 103
Newholme, Frederick Robert The Conservative 72
Peake, Sandra The Labour Party 200 (Elected)

Bush Hill Park, Enfield - by election
The man expected to get the job of London Mayoral candidate and number one position on the GLA elections, Steve Squire, stood in a by-election in Bush Hill Park, Enfield , yesterday.
From all reports the split in the party had not stopped the campaigning, so the result is somewhat of a disappointment given the fine tuning Clive Jefferson has been making to election strategy!
Lee Chamberlain - The Conservative Party Candidate 1108
Ivor Wiggett - The Labour Party Candidate 668
Tony Kingsnorth - Independent 230
Paul David Smith - Liberal Democrats 177
Douglas Frank Coker - Green Party 100
Gwyneth Wesley Rolph - UK Independence Party 70
Stephen Squire - British National Party 61 (2.5%)
Clive Morrison - Christian Party "Proclaiming Christ's Lordship" 45
Ben Weald - The English Democrats - "Putting England First!" 29
Turnout: 23%

Nick Griffin Wins Leadership Election
Andrew Brons 1148
Nick Griffin 1157
11 spoilt votes.
Bad luck Andrew, a brave challenge. Had so many good activists and members not been suspended things would have been a lot different.
