Greeny Hypocrisy ?

[darmstadt]

So before UKIP was founded which party/parties did these racists belong too?

Or did they only become racist after joining UKIP?

BNP. They're only fielding 2 candidates this election so someone has to take their base under their wing

oh look some facts

https://yougov.co.uk/news/2014/02/24...s-its-support/




3% BNP
11% Labour
45% Conservative

so as usual you are letting the bottom mouth do the talking & thinking.

[d000hg]

So most of the BNP supporters are now UKIP supporters?

You are still trying to turn the tide of UKIP into a sneer based on racism whilst we all know that its your own wallet that you are worried about

Who?

[vetran]

So most of the BNP supporters are now UKIP supporters?

if you consider <10% most then yes (you might want to borrow SAS's crayons).

Wonder where the other 90% will go?

[d000hg]

How many supporters do you think BNP had? UKIP has a lot of supporters, so 3% of them could quite possibly be most of the BNP supporters.

And of course you fail to mention (whether from ignorance or malice) this is data how UKIP supporters voted, not who they supported. Most constituencies probably didn't have a BNP candidate, so clearly not all BNP supporters voted BNP. You could say the same for UKIP in 2010 as well, your data makes it look like most current UKIP supporters weren't UKIP supporters in 2010 but that is not guaranteed. We've yet to see how many UKIP supports vote for UKIP in 2015, or if they are pragmatic and try to prevent Labour get in.

Yes but who are the BNP supporters voting for now?

Yes but who are the BNP supporters voting for now?

Presumably Labour as they seem the most keen on a police state and playing divide and rule

And of course according to Dianne Abbot only white people play divide and rule, so she's virtually offering the BNP a home

Supporters=Members?
or
Supporters=likely to vote for them this time round?

well as UKIP is the only party banning former BNP members it was obvious there is no point talking about members. But seeing as you mentioned it and you meant BNP-> UKIP members :

Former BNP member disowned by Ukip | Politics | The Guardian

UKIP > Join Online - see the declaration on the bottom, its been that way since 2003.

plenty on Stormfront were upset about it.

so its zero ex BNP members UKIP have accepted.

The BNP did have 12,632 members
Western Spring » BNP Membership Drops by 68% in Three Years

as none should be joining UKIP where did they go? May I suggest other extreme organisations or Labour / Tory can't see them joining the greens.

so the most sensible thing was to look at their voting intentions.

If you read the link Yougov were specifically talking about who they were likely to vote for against who they voted for in 2010. It was the closest I could get to as 'supporters'

so it wasn't malice or ignorance it was attempting to answer your underlying question.

BNP got 940,000 votes in 2010.
UKIP 3.2M votes in 2010.

from the 14.8 people that make up that 3%. I make that about 96,000 votes so about 10% of BNP support less than UKIP's share of UK voters which has grown since 2010.
