BNP defeated in Harrogate by election
The fascist BNP failed to break the 10% barrier in a council by-election in Bilton Ward in Harrogate on Thursday 19th February thanks in part to
counter-leafletting by local UAF supporters, and despite recent attempt by the fascists to establish themselves in North Yorkshire in the run up to the European elections.
Full result:
Bilton Ward, Harrogate - 19th February 2009
Claire McKenzie Lib Dem 902 (50.4%)
Sharon Bentley Con 673 (37.6%)
Steven Gill BNP 164 (9.2%)
Andrew Gray Lab 51 (2.8%)
Turnout 1,790 (42%)
