The Daily Telegraph states that the
BNP website is the most popular in U.K. politics
A website run by the British National Party is
the most visited website of any
UK
political party, with more hits than all other parties put
together, a survey has found.
Hitwise, the online competitive intelligence service, said
that more than seven times as many visitors click on to the
BNP's site as for the Labour Party and almost three times as
many as for the Conservatives.
The study of over eight million internet accounts found that
people who struggle to hold down a rewarding or well paying
job, and rely on state benefits and the council for their
accommodation were most likely to visit the site.
However, nearly a quarter of the site's visitors are people
who have successfully established themselves and their
families in comfortable suburban homes.
Young and well educated city dwellers are also
over-represented amongst visitors to the BNP's homepage.
The proportion of the site's visitors that come from the
middle classes is also increasing: 59pc are from the more
affluent ABC1 social groups, and this figure is up from 50pc
two years ago, Hitwise said.
Robin Goad, Research Director at Hitwise, said: "the BNP has
occupied its position as the most visited political party
website for two years.
"One explanation for the site's popularity may be that
people are using it as an 'alternative' news source.
"For example, less than 10pc of people visit a news site
after viewing
www.bnp.org.uk whereas the figure is over twice this
(21pc) for the politics category as a whole.
"In addition, younger and well educated people are more
likely to visit Politics websites than the online population
as a whole, so their interest in the site may well to be
driven by curiosity rather than support for the BNP's
policies."
Voter apathy, glossy "news" with sexy presenters and old
gang parties with the same old spin, lies, deception and
high taxes.
Its no wonder people venture out and search for alternative
and refreshing views to help them through the dark days on
Britain in 2007.
It started with a hardy bunch of like minded individuals,
against all the odds, how big will the BNP eventually turn
out with so much interest?
