One in five would ‘consider’ voting BNP

Some 22 per cent of those questioned said they would “seriously consider” voting BNP in a local, European or general election following the appearance of the party’s leader, Nick Griffin, on BBC1’s Question Time.
Around two-thirds of those questioned by YouGov for the Daily Telegraph said they would not vote BNP “under any circumstances”, with the rest unsure.
However, 4 per cent said they would “definitely” consider backing the party, 3 per cent would “probably” consider it, and 15 per cent said they were “possible” BNP voters.
The total figure is more than three times the 6.2 per cent which the BNP secured in this June’s European Parliament ballot - its best ever showing in a national election - and suggests that there is substantial potential for Mr Griffin to extend his party’s reach. It vastly outstrips the party’s 0.7 per cent score in the 2005 general election.
More than half of those surveyed agreed with the BNP or thought the party “had a point” in wishing to “speak up for the interests of the indigenous, white British people… which successive governments have done far too little to protect”. This included 43 per cent who said that they had no sympathy for the BNP itself, though they shared some of its concerns.
YouGov questioned 1,314 adult voters across Britain online following the broadcast of Question Time.

It is more a reaction to the current bad economic conditions than the popularity of BNP. Your contention that there will be a BNP PM in 15 years is very far fetched because the overwhelming majority of British people are middle of the road sensible people and will not vote in an extremist party. These sort of parties always rise in popularity during tough times and in the bye elections. As I said earlier the general election next year will be when we will be able to judge how popular they are. Similar thing happened in the 70’s with the rise of national front, only to die a death later on.
