In council elections 2008 the BNP got

Castle Prior ward 495 votes 16%
Coseley East ward 965 votes 27% ( has now been taken out of Dudley North and is in Wolverhampton South East )
Gornal ward 513 votes 12%
St Janes ward 311 votes 9%
Upper Gornal Ward 870 votes 25%

As You can see the boundary commission has done its best to stick its nose in, by taking out a good ward for the BNP. But the other results show for this seat, when a BNP candidate stands they get at least 9% of the vote. The public need to get to be told that the only truly British party is the BNP and this could well return a BNP MP. It will take a lot of work but the base of support is there.
