ONE-IN-NINE people thought that the British National Party were the biggest political winners of 2009 according to the readers of the Metro news organisation in its Metro Urban Life Poll.

The BNP’s 11% was nearly double that of the Liberal Democrats who managed just 6% and nearly three times that of the Labour Party, who came bottom of the poll with just 4%.

Not surprisingly most readers – 54% – thought that the Conservative Party had made the biggest inroads during the past 12 months.

“For a small party we did make a big impact,” said BNP spokesman Simon Darby.

“We currently have thousands of new members eagerly waiting to join when the court-imposed freeze on membership is lifted. It is good that we are getting into the public consciousness at this time with the General Election imminent.”

The finding emerged after a Metro Urban Life poll of 2,664 readers in full-time work, aged between 18 and 44, was carried out in the second half of last month.

There was more positive news from the poll for the British National Party as the top issues for public concern were the war in Afghanistan and immigration – two issues at the forefront of the BNP’s General Election campaign.

In fact, the immigration issue saw the second-biggest rise in people’s worry, with 43% seeing it as the most important issue compared to 36% back in 2008.

Cameron leader of the FLOPPOSITION Conservative party yesterday announced that his party would cut immigration by 75%. Now tell me this man is not lying. He is a liar from a party of liars and he is lying. How can anybody vote for a man who promised a referendum on Europe then renege on it. With the BNP at least you get what it says on the tin.
