BNP Wins and Holds 100 Seats for First Time Ever
* Labour Mayor knocked out in Rotherham
* One vote short of third gain in Amber Valley
* Huge swing in Halifax
* Seven second places in Barnsley
* 31 % in Daventry
* Tories, Plaid Cymru and Lib Dems trounced in Swansea
* Labour heartland of Jarrow gets BNP heart attack
The British National Party has shown solid steady growth in all areas of the country in the regions where local elections have been held, taking seats from mainly traditional Labour areas, as that party’s vote collapses everywhere.
Before today, the BNP held 84 council seats at all levels. With almost all results in, this figure has now reached 100, and could still exceed that number.
There were also a large number of excellent second places countrywide. In Barnsely, no less than seven BNP candidates came a close second. In Swansea, the BNP trounced the Tories, Plaid Cymru and the Lib Dems, and in the spiritual Labour heartland of Jarrow, South Tyneside, a place where the Labour Party promised “there would never even be a BNP candidate”, the BNP polled 33% of the vote, beating the Tories into third place.
