You failed to save your deposit there as you have in the past 3 parliamentary by-elections UKIP have contested. In Crewe BNP didnt stand so its highly likely that some of your vote would of went to the BNP as it is proven that there is an overlap in voters.
BNP have been winning seats in areas that have very little racial tension, I dont believe sedgefield had many non-whites but the BNP still achieved 9% there.
