BNP Wins First Ever County Council Seat in Major Victory for Far-right Party

MAIL Online: The British National Party won its first ever county council seat in the UK today.

The far right party won its first seat in Lancashire in the party's stronghold of Burnley as Labour was routed.

Sharon Wilkinson was elected to Lancashire County Council with a massive 30 per cent of the vote as electors dumped Labour in their droves.

Her victory in the Padiham and Burnley West ward, where she was born and brought up, is a major victory for the party. >>> By Jaya Narain and Beth Hale | Friday, June 05, 2009
