Yes, I welcome the defeat of the BNP. The BNP is a collection of rather unpleasant people, it includes thugs and law breakers and the link to Searchlight magazine provides a glimpse into these personalities. I suspect some people join without realising what they have done or without thinking through the facts. Unfortunately, people look for easy answers and the BNP 's racist policies may apppear attractive to some but in reality social and economic problems are more complex.
I think the general decline in Conservative Party support is a key to the success of right wing groups like the BNP. A strong Conservative Party would lead to these extreme right groups declining. Also there clearly has been some disillusionment with the Labour Party in certain localities, which unfortunately is seen by some as being aloof from their day to day problems. I think it is up to decent people whether Conservative, Liberal or Labour supporters to learn lessons and act together to halt any further penetration by the BNP anywhere.
