In your May edition you ran an article entitled, 'Far right vote is overlooked'. Overlooked by whom? True the press and politicians are maybe not taking the matter as seriously as they should. However, not only did I say in a lecture given before the election that the BNP were more popular amongst the electorate than people give them credit for, but predicted that their share of the vote would increase.
