What can you say about the result ?
It amazes me that 50% of the people can believe that a Labour administration in any guise can be of any good to this country. It can also be surprising that the pro european Lib Dems have done well, but they normally do well then fade fast.
To look on the positive, 353 people of Wakefield stood firm by their beliefs and voted for the BNP we need to build on this core vote, as we have little time left to save this country. Lets not be to disheartened, as the CONS yet again failed in a by election, and actually saw their vote drop at an already low level.
The CONS a party in waiting to govern the country, I don't think so. What we do need to do, is double the effort and get the message out to the British people.

I wouldn't worry about the Lib Dems coming second. When there was a by election in my area they put out 10 (yes ten!) leaflets and canvassed twice.
ReplyDeleteThey still lost and I've only had one leaflet since.
They may be able to maintain their support at May's election, but they'll soon end up last again.
I was born in Castleford and moved to Ferry Fryston in 1953, at the age of 5, into one of the first 10 houses ever built there. It's great to see a fantastic result for the BNP. I wish you every success in the future.
