A small consolation: the BNP - who were they, again?

The stats for the BNP in this election were:
8 candidates
1667 votes between them
average share of a constituency's vote: 0.4%
average drop from 2010: 5.7%

For comparison, the Monster Raving Loony Party figures:
16 candidates
3898 votes between them
average share of a constituency's vote: 0.5%
average increase from 2010: 0.4%

Raving Loonies are going places!

Intolerant hate groups often end up like that: they end up turning their intolerance and hate on EACH OTHER as well as everyone else.

Remember the old rhyme?

There once were two cats of Kilkenny.
Each thought there was one cat too many
So they fought and they fit
And they scratched and they bit,
Till instead of two cats, there weren't any.

Pretty much describes the BNP leadership!
