So BNP didn't do as well as last year, but it is not the devastating defeat that many NG haters were hoping for, or are now claiming it is.  Considering all that the BNP had to put up with, media black-out, third party leaflets, electoral fraud, intimidation from ethnics, reds, and the cops, plus all the dirty tricks that the three parties could throw at them, to come out of this election with a net gain is commendable.  Lessons will have been learned, roll on London next May.
