The local election results have as expected been disasterous for the BNP.
In the Wigan area some interesting facts can be gleaned.
First the Tories are even more hated than they were previously and the BNP had some success in beating them.
Congratulations to Morgan in Ince for having well beaten the Tory, and to Dennis Shambley for doing the same in Abram and Steve Bradbury in Hindley.
However the results in this area also show that in spite of it being a Labour stronghold Independents did well as shown by the vote gained by Gary Chadwick and Chris Garfin in Leigh.
Gary almost beat the Tory while Chris easily beat his Tory opponent.
I do not think that Gary and Chris would have gained so many votes if they had stood under the BNP banner, an indication of the toxicity the party has become under the present leadership.
The Community Action Party was well beaten and the odious, uncouth Peter Franzen saw his support drop even further. It is Ironic that a few years it looked and he thought that they would become the largest party in Wigan and the possibility of him becoming mayor.
That he did not was because of our standing a candidate in Douglas ward and in spite of polling few votes it was enough to deprive his party of a majority in Wigan.
Similarly in Golborne I believe in the past we caused his defeat, a defeat from which he has never recovered.
No we did not win in these wards but winning is not always necessary to influence the results.
Another bit of good news was that Franzen's extremist undemocratic friend Stephen Hall was well beaten.
So what is the general verdict?
First, the Tories suffered a disaster, well deserved on account of their incompetence and general lack of concern for ordinary people.
It made my heart glad to see the glum face of the arrogant and out of touch Cameron.
Perhaps he will now listen to people a bit more.
Secondly, good Independent candidates can beat Labour, even in Wigan.
And thirdly there is still, in spite of the poor leadership of the BNP a resevoir of people who will vote nationalist if a clean and competent party emerges.
Many voters stayed at home having lost interest in the present political system.
We nationalists need to enthuse them, show them that unlike the other parties we are on their side and then reap the reward.
BUT WE CAN'T AND WON'T UNDER GRIFFIN.
His verdict, "we are still here and have spread our word".
Yes maybe but people have not voted for his party and that is what counts.
UKIP, Nationalism lite got 16% where they stood and deprived many Tory councillors of their seats even if they did not themselves get elected.
THEIR INFLUENCE IS INCREASING.
The Tories are frightened of UKIP and their presence will influence government policies.
BUT THEY IGNORE THE BNP.
At a time of recession and general disillusionment with the major parties thje BNP should have massively increased its influence and votes.
The time is ripe.
SO WHY IS IT NOT DOING SO MR GRIFFIN?
COULD YOU BE THE REASON?
When other parties do badly, pressure is exerted on the leader and he is often changed.
IS IT NOT TIME FOR YOU TO GO?
For the sake of our country and movement PLEASE DO.
