Ms Smith was one of the first to be publicly ridiculed when it emergedthat amongst her expenses claims were pornographic films and anobviously bogus ’second house’ claim which was in fact her sister’shouse.
Jacqui Smith’s surprise resignationtoday is the culmination of a series of events which has led to a totalmeltdown in the Labour Party, compounded by observer reports fromaround the country at postal ballot reception centres of a dramaticsurge in support for the British National Party, Nick Griffin has said.
Speaking exclusively to BNP News afterMs Smith’s resignation, Mr Griffin said that in many Euro regions, BNPobservers had reported an initial groundswell of support for the BNP inpostal ballots, particularly in Redditch and the West Midlands, whereMs Smith has her seat.
“Labour backbenchers have been openlyplotting Mr Brown’s demise should the BNP achieve a breakthrough onThursday. It is my bet that Ms Smith has been informed of the postalballot trends and has decided to jump ship rather than be pushed andpublicly humiliated next week,” Mr Griffin said.
According to Mr Griffin, estimates ofBNP support levels in the first wave of returned postal ballots havevaried between 15 and 20 percent or more in certain regions. “This isremarkable when one considers that usually the BNP does poorly inpostal votes when compared to actual polling day.
“The effect on the Labour Party ofhaving one of their most senior people quit 24 hours before polling dayis an indication of how severe the Labour meltdown is going to be. Noparty, under normal circumstances, would allow such a thing to happenjust before a crucial election,” Mr Griffin said.
