The numbers

Here's the figures:
John Michael Howell- Conservative : 19,796
Stephen Andrew Kearney- Lib Dem: 9,680
Mark Christopher Stevenson - Green: 1,321
Timothy Sylvester Rait - BNP: 1,243
Richard Mark McKenzie - Labour: 1,066
Christopher Mark Adams -UKIP: 843
Peter Thomas Owen - Loony : 242
John Derek Allpass - English Democrats : 157
Amanda Jayne Harrington - Independent: 128
Richard Rodgers - Common Good: 121
Louise Anne Cole - Independent: 91
James Christopher Poole - Fur Play: 73

A few incidents of note as the figures came out. A few shouted insults and a chorus of boos greeted the BNP's surprising turnout.
John Howell's response to the win was understated at best. No shows of flamboyance from the Tories.
The final image on the stage was of the Ravig Loony candidate, Bananaman, attempting to give his thanks as the mikes appeared to have been switched off, and the other candidates slinked off unbeknown to him.

I guess that, because this is such a strong Tory constituency, the BNP are prone to be receive a lot of votes here. People seemed completely at ease at expressing their support for them in public in Henley whereas in other places people simply wouldn't be so brazen in publicising the unpleasant side of their nature.

Frankly, whatever you think of the current Labour Government, it is disgusting that the BNP polled more votes.
