06/01/2008: "Poll results: 99% of Brits in Stoke on Trent would rather live under British National Party rule"
A massive 99% of people in the phone-in vote said they would be prepared to live in a town run by the far-right party.
The Daily Star poll asked readers: "Would you live in a BNP town?"
We were overwhelmed by the response, the second highest in any of our hundreds of polls on the issues of the day.
And 99% of our readers that phoned in voted: "Yes".
The Daily Star launched the vote after reporting on the rise of the BNP in Stoke on Trent, Staffs. The local council, a Labour stronghold since the 1930s, once had 60 Labour councillors. Now there are just 15 and the BNP has nine and rising support.
[ Surprising honesty from the media. ]
