however their economic outlook is quite left wing and very populist indeed.
Not really; they dropped that after it didn't work very well. They proposed abolishing income tax this election for one thing; not that anyone votes for them based on economic issues.
Nah, most bigoted Labourites are die hard straight ticketers. The BNP's real strength (with a few exceptions) comes from places where there used to be a strong tradition of working class Toryism (Burnley, Halifax, Dewsbury, Haworth, Keighley, Dudley, Barking etc. etc. Oddly enough not Birmingham yet. I'm told it won't be long though... mind you Brum has often elected councillers from another far right party (although an Asian one) and far right Tory councillers as well) and despite the nasty elitist predjudices peddled by the media their votes do
not come from council estates as a rule.
