BNP welcomes new councillor 7th December 2003 The BNP has gained a new councillor on Calderdale Council in West Yorkshire. Until the last few days we had two councillors, Adrian Marsden and Richard Mulhall. We proudly welcome our new councillor Geoffrey Wallace who has crossed over from the ruling Tory Group to the BNP Group.
The BNP has fielded candidates in recent local council elections who have been former candidates for other parties including Greens, Lib Dems and Tories. It is not surprising that we should attract politically motivated folk from all the Old Gang parties as the ordinary members see that the Old Gang are all from the same mould and can offer nothing new for British people.
First cross over to BNP
However this is the first time a sitting councillor has crossed over from another party and particularly appropriate is that the Tories are the largest and therefore the ruling party on Calderdale Council. This is a devastating blow for the Tories who are suffering from falling membership and doubt over whether their national Party Leader Michael Howard can make an effective opposition leader.

Clr. Wallace will now represent the people of Illingworth Ward on the northern outskirts of Halifax. He told the BNP that he was thoroughly fed up with the Tories' gutless stance on Europe and the fact that the leadership of the party was more interested in being seen as politically correct rather than addressing the real concerns of the British electorate. What propelled Clr. Wallace to quit the Tories last week was the introduction of the Employment Equality Act, an utterly absurd piece of legislation where even the display of Christmas cards on an office desk could be a violation of one member of an ethnic or religious minority considers that they are "offended" by such a display. The Tories, Clr Wallace reported, put up no opposition to this daft and unnecessary legislation at Westminster or at a regional and local level. "The time had come to make a stand against political correctness with is damaging town halls, public bodies and employer-employee relations the length and breadth of Britain".
More to come
We applaud Geoffrey's considerable courage to move over from the Tories to the BNP and are delighted to welcome him to our winning party. In addition we know that Clr. Wallace is far from alone. A number of councillors from other parties are reported to be awaiting the outcome of next June's Local Election results and where a BNP Group (two or more councillors) exists we expect quite widespread defection from the Tories in particular. Only by such bold action can we hope to regain the town halls for the benefit of all the British people and not just a small politically correct band.
This spring there will be elections for local assemblies, the european parliment and the greater london authority. The levy will break and the media/establishement in the english speaking world will be shitting themselves when the results come in. Expect to read hysterical articles in your local rag about "the rise of the far right in britain."

If the BNP keeps increasing their list Candidates in 2004 like they did in 2003, they will just keeping winning more and more.
I was looking at their election results once and I think 10% of all their candidates they run win and around 20% come in second place.
So far they have only contested a relatively small number of Councillor seats. They have 1,000s more out there.

The BNP may not be much, but it is better than what we have to work with in the USA. Best of luck to them.
