The thing is, if Labour can still attract that level of support despite presiding over rising levels of treachery at all levels of national and international involvement, what the hell have they got to be worried about?
Even at their lowest ebb in 1983, they still took around a quarter of the national vote.
Question is, what will be their level of support in th Euros next year? UKIP will almost certainly lose support to the Tories, but there is a real chance that the BNP could actually beat the Labour Party, and if that is combined with winning 1-3 MEPs as well, it will really be the start of years of growth for the party.
All the BNP needs to do now is start beating the Tories on an equal scale, but I cannot see that for the moment.

Too many people have this idea that the Tories are 'patriots'. They aren't they are treasonous like Labour are but in a different way. The BNP need to expose the long list of traitorous actions by previous Conservative governments such as Ted Heath's decision to put us into the 'Common Market' without a referendum and which he knew full well that a USE was the endgame. The party must get over the idea that a vote for the Tories is still going to result in Britain and the British people being stabbed in the back.

Labour did take 25% then,please remember that this figure isn't 25% of those egilible to vote,but only of those who did.
There are millions of people in this country who don't vote,and if they can't be bothered it matters little how
many votes the other parties get-just what the percentage is.

I despise this backward-thinking denunciation of previous governments and the people who shout "treason!" whenever they say anything about the Tories or the EU. You should be judging the present Tory party on their policies, beliefs and actions and not previous ones. After all, different party leaders have different policies and beliefs and act differently so it would make sense to rubbish and denounce Cameron and Hague rather than denouncing completely different people who have either retired from politics completely or have since died.
In a nutshell: don't look backwards at what happened in the past; people are different so diss Cameron's lot rather than Heath's retired lot. Ya?

What do you base this opinion on? European elections have notoriously low turnouts and it is unlikely IMHO that the BNP lot will get out of their council estates to even vote.

Do their voters only reside on council estates?

No. Many of their voters do reside in impoverished areas like Stoke and Dagenham, though. Not that that's a problem. Just rubbishing the suggestion that the BNP is going to make a huge breakthrough in tapping into mainstream support in 2009. It's just not gonna happen.
