12.5% is an excellent result for virgin territory like this, and it shows we
can stand *anywhere* in the country and be assured of at least 10% !

On May 11th Scarborough BNP fought a by-election caused by the resignation
of a Tory Councillor in the Stepney ward of this seaside town. Trisha Scott,
the BNP candidate polled a fantastic 12.5% of the vote in the first contest
the BNP has fielded a candidate in the town. A full colour glossy leaflet
was put out, and then followed up with a black and white leaflet used for
canvassing. We came within 100 votes of all three 'Establishment' parties in
a seat which was won by the Green Party.
Our hard working and popular candidate Trisha, backed up by a growing band
of dedicated helpers were out and about in the ward delivering leaflets and
talking to the electorate right up until polling day itself. It became very
clear that we were winning many friends in the Ward and had a good
foundation of support. On polling day itself we had activists in every
polling station meeting and greeting the electorate. On top of canvassing
this helps to break down the gutter propaganda that our leftist opponents
produce and try to smear us with.
The presence of the BNP in the by-election caused something of a stir in the
local political scene as the dregs of UAF leafleted the area with the usual
smear leaflet, two local Tory MPs were whizzing around on polling day trying
to drum up support for their clearly flagging party, and the other parties
(the Greens in particular) were telling voters not to vote for 'her' - that
is the BNP's excellent candidate, retired Civil Servant, Trisha Scott.
The depths that these other parties will go to really continue to amaze, yet
it is something we must take as a massive compliment as it shows how scared
and pathetic they really are. At the count itself there was much interest as
people got to see just who really the people were representing the BNP. They
looked around in amazement to see the most smartly dressed and well mannered
group in there. There were many gasps of 'astonishment' when Trisha polled
154 votes that could be heard around the hall. The liberal-fascist world is
crumbling down around them and they really don't know what to say or do.
The funniest thing to happen on polling day was the fact that many of our
supporters used the Liberal Democrat candidate's fleet of cars and minibuses
to get down to the polling stations - only to vote BNP once there! Overall
it was a great result, our highest ever percentage in North Yorkshire and a
sure sign that the potential here is tremendous. Well done to Scarborough
BNP and Trisha Scott in particular.
Full Result:
BNP - 154
Conservative - 253
Green - 341 (Elected)
Independent - 96
Labour - 181
Lib Dem - 209

"A storm is gathering in this country that is about to unleash a political
revolution. British workers are sick and tired of being sold out by greedy
Tory global capitalists, hand wringing Liberal Democrat Third World
Obsessives, and public school New Labour champagne socialists. They
understand that if they want a decent job, a decent wage, a decent pension
and hope for a future in this country for their children, that the only
party that dares to stand up for the rights of the British worker is the
BNP."
