  It aint 1000 Proabley 500. BNP couldn't manage that last year when more than 300 councils(nearly every English council except s few and the London boroughs and even Scotland had them) had local elections and about 140 odd councils have them this year.  Nick Griffin said 450 candidates are needed and i read some where 50 seats is a target for Wales - Who fielded 3-6 candidates in 2004.  You need to contest 1/6th of council seats to get a political broadcast. Im not sure but i think there are 2500 sets up for grabs in England which is probley true because divide that by 6 = 416 candidates  Nominations close a week tommorrow.  Ah, thats what fooled me, I remember Griffin saying he wants a broadcast this year and I thought a 1000 was needed.
