The British National Party

The BNP has gained significant media attention because the Court has for the second time judged its Constitution unlawful. At the same time an on line poll has shown the gap between the two main parties very much wider in the Conservatives’ favour than the general trend of other polls. It is believed that this is because the strength of BNP support is being underscored in Labour heartlands because people are embarrassed to admit their support for the far right but on line are more honest.  If this is correct a bell needs to ring the alarm at Labour H.Q. If a third party pulls enough hardcore Labour support in marginals, whether the Tories or Lib Dems are lying second, Labour will lose and lose big. Echoes of Michael Foot and the SDP/Liberal Alliance.
