People in Scarborough know about the recent two by-elections in the town, in the Ramshill and Stepney wards, but do all the people of Scarborough know about the unfair media treatment of some of the candidates?
How the local press featured one candidate but as soon as the full election line up was announced quietly chose to forget to feature other candidates (apart from listing their names)?
Do the people of Scarborough know that this was purely because a candidate from the BNP was standing in the Stepney ward?
The election was won by the Green Party, but the BNP polled 154 votes, which is very good for the first time the party has contested a Scarborough election (this was roughly 12% of the vote). People in Scarborough are getting sick and tired of the traditional parties with their same, tired old agendas and politically-correct attitudes. The BNP is a new party in the town, but there is alot of public interest.
It is time the local press allowed the public to make up its own mind rather than pushing the agenda of one candidate to the detriment of all the others.
