Sounds like standard BNP policies and approach, then :D

You agree with what Barnbrook said?

Also most people don't vote BNP. Most people despise them, this isn't the left-wing media talking, this is the results of private voting. :dozey:

Maybe the answer should have been to put the protagonists in the BB house, match them up against each other and then get the electorate to vote.

Frightening thought!:shocked:

That's how you have interpreted it...i clearly stated he can believe what he likes as i don't care. If you have interpreted that to your own understanding that's your problem.

If that's the case how did the BNP manage to win a seat in London?

I see.....:cool:

Could you explain to me the interpretation of 4-5% of the vote then? (which of course overstates it since BNP voters are more likely to vote)

More left wing nonsense.
Errrr....No. That was the result of the local elections in which votes cast are private so people can vote for whoever they want without anyone knowing who they voted for.

And how has this thread got back to the damned BNP again?This is supposed to be about Boris winning the Mayoral election not the Blasted Nitwit Party.:rolleyes:

I suggest those that want to discuss it start yet ANOTHER BNP thread.

Must have been that massive vote rigging that wasn't reported by the left wing media. :D

This is foreverwar fault, he always brings the BNP into my posts. I have had it with this topic, you cannot speak about anything without that fool interfering.

Actually I thought it was Damien whom mentioned them first but your posting with the video link didn't help either.

erm, you linked to a BNP video - I just pointed it out (it's called free speech).

btw, to be called "a fool" by you is a compliment, trust me. :D

Actually the London seat was given on the basis of a large enough share of the vote, the seats are given out that way. So while they never got a majority in any one area their small minorities were enough.

Do you actually have any concept how the election worked?

Under the Transferable Vote system, if a party got >5% of the votes, it got a seat on the Assembly - the BNP got 5.3%, so it got a seat. 5.3% isn't "most" - 94.7% who didn't vote for the BNP is "most". :D
