One blogger is reporting that the BNP has won. No confirmation. |

Ok, my report was from a viewing of the tally but it may be close for third place, not withstanding LibDem and Labour barcharts...  |

Out of interest, do you find ED and their similar equivalents tend to take away support from the BNP in elections, or do they help draw away more votes from the bigger parties? |

Something we don't get on locals now in Scotland with STV. There was one ward in Edinburgh, I think it was Portobello, that had about 15 candidates for 3 seats. I think the third seat went to a candidate with something like 7-8% of first preference votes. |

Con 798; BNP 790; Lab 700; LD 564; ED 128 If that is the case one could assume that without the English Democrats standing this seat could of well gone to the BNP. |

So far from Darren's rather ridiculous post the campaigns by all the mainstream parties stopped the BNP winning... |

I don't agree Dan. Had the LibDems taken 9 more votes from the Conservatives the BNP would have won.
