Welsh Assembly Results

With acknowledgements to Cllr Kevin Edwards' blog

It's a disaster for the British National Party with its share of the vote almost halving in Wales since 2007 and being outpolled by UKIP, the Greens, and even the tiny Socialist Labour Party.  Still, no doubt Mr Griffin draws some comfort from the fact that the BNP received more votes than some of the minnows, such as the Monster Raving Loony Party, and the English Democrats, for example.
