London England British National Party Wins Seat After winning 5.3% of The Votes

The anti-immigration British National Party has won a seat on the London Assembly after getting 5.3% of votes.

Richard Barnbrook, who is BNP leader on Barking and Dagenham Council and who came fifth in the mayoral contest, will take up one of the 25 assembly seats.

He said he would stand up for Londoners regardless of "colour or identity" as long they fitted in "to the environment they come into".

But critics said it was a victory for "hatred, violence and stupidity".

London voters elected 14 of the London Assembly members directly, with the remaining 11 divided between the parties in proportion to London-wide votes.

Mr Barnbrook, who came fifth in the mayoral race with 69,000 votes, had promised to give the "real people of London" a voice.

The victory will undoubtedly send shockwaves through the establishment, and comes in spite of tampering with the ballot boxes, generally hostile media coverage and a huge (and probably illegal) third-party campaign against the BNP, run by the Communist extremish front organisations, working on behalf of the other parties.

The BNP’s breakthrough in London has important implications: it has shown the public at large that the BNP is a credible, electable party, which can achieve representation at all levels of government. The way has now been cleared for further breakthroughs, and the bell has now sounded for the floodgates of popular British opinion to be opened, and sweep away the debris of the old parties.

According to its constitution, the BNP is "committed to stemming and reversing the tide of non-white immigration and to restoring, by legal changes, negotiation and consent the overwhelmingly white makeup of the British population that existed in Britain prior to 1948."
