South Birmingham BNP: Their Progress to Date

Here is what our opponents are doing at the moment:

Every citizen of Birmingham should be ashamed that the BNP can get three branches established in our city.

They are kicking off their European Election campaign. The simple truth is that the BNP know they are no hoper's, that's why they pump so many resources into second order elections. Getting a seat, or seats in the European Parliament will give them credibility (not that it has helped UKIP).

Currently the BNP are drawing crowds in the low hundreds to hear them speak. I guess many of them are bused in. At the last election they were able to stand a candidate in every Ward-that's one candidate in all 40 Wards. Most of them kept their deposit...

VOTE JUNE 4th 2009!
We are lucky in the West Midland European Constituency. Our seat threshold is set so high the BNP will never get. Turnout in Euro elections is never above 40%, so it is easy for the BNP to get a seemingly high result. This might transform itself into funding, media attention and eventually political power.
