I can't see this being much of a vote winner for Nick. He was under fire for much of the program, and didn't deal with it very well.

The one section where he could have impressed was about whether the BNP's recent success was a result of failures of recent governments, and it goes onto immigration. He makes a real hash of it, and ends up comparing white people to Aboriginals and going on about tours in the lake district. He could have talked about jobs for local people, but he allows himself to be drawn into the race debate, and moans about a tour being cancelled as only 'English err. white people' were going on them.

I loved Nick's lip twitching during the Straw's closing comments. You can tell he is fuming inside.
