I don't see the BNP getting such a high percentage of the vote - certainly not nationally.<br />There me be some constituencies where their vote spikes higher and is enough to affect who wins the seat in that onstituency, but I don't see them winning any seats.<br />For a start, if there was a seat where they began polling enough to look like winning, i think you would see tactical voting by the supporters of the 'main' parties to stop that happening.<br />I do see them squeezing Labour's vote in some constituencies, as UKIP will do to the Conservatives. For this reason I think predictions will be very hard to get right.<br />What I will say is that I hope frevently that the BNP do not do at all well. <br />I loathe their racism, their extreme left-wing labour and economic policies, and of course their Unionism. I am campaigning for a tolerant, independent England with a civic view of citizenship. I see from your profile that you want to see something very similar, and I hope you'll be a regular reader and commenter, and help spread the word for the campaign.Independent Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259685149221743106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5935074404135479390.post-31359410080289890032010-02-09T21:25:30.064+00:002010-02-09T21:25:30.064+00:00The one omission from this analysis is: What if th...The one omission from this analysis is: What if the BNP win a very large proportion of the vote?<br />I believe it is possible that the BNP could cause a major upset (don't get me wrong - I'm not a BNP supporter - but as a PROTEST vote, I wouldn't underestimate them - my impression is that their support is growing all the time).<br /><br />A large BNP showing could bring a number of issues to the forefront: immigration, EU membership, the English question (BNP supports an English parliament, but for different reasons).<br /><br />What if the BNP won, say, 20% of the vote?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
