General Election 2010: Nick Griffin defiant in defeat
BNP leader Nick Griffin put on a defiant face yesterday as campaigners claimed the far-right party had suffered its "greatest humiliation" at the ballot box.
The party had failed to win a single seat despite fielding more than 300 candidates.
The BNP could only raise its overall vote by 1.83 per cent to 514,819 after a year of increased national exposure, thanks to Mr Griffin and colleague Andrew Brons being elected to serve as MEPs and the leader's appearance on BBC's Question Time.
