25% Poll Looking Solid for Jim Cowell in RosehillDespite hail, rain and at times gale force winds, BNP canvassers continued there first sweep of Rosehill and Burnley Wood Ward yesterday. Led by Simon Bennett, Burnley and Pendle BNP's Acting organiser, the team managed to canvass 300 homes during 'windows in the weather' and the returns mirrored last week's results.One in four of those canvassed supported the BNP, 30% supported another political party and 45% were still undecided. The returns were particularly encouraging as the area covered was the most affluent in the ward and possibly not ideal BNP recruiting ground.
"It will be interesting when we revisit the 'undecideds' next month, to see which way they are going to jump", said canvasser Charles Barrow.
Canvassers are also pleased with the reception to the BNP's "Just One Vote - And Make It Count" strategy.
Feedback from the first week's canvassing, in the form of "For More Information" coupons, arrived at the Burnley office this week, with Simon Bennett reporting, * The "BNP Online Canvassing" launched on Burnley Bravepages yesterday got off to a promising start with the first evening seeing three families, from Rosehill With Burnley Wood, Lanehead, and Whittlefield with Ightenhill wards, all registering their intention to vote for the British National Party in May.
Burnley Bravepages editor, Martin Wingfield, is very enthusiastic over the role the website is playing in the BNP's election effort.
