Today marks the (at least temporary) end of the BNP after the Electoral Commission removed them from its official list of political parties for failing to re-register. The Electoral Commisssion statement says:
The BNP’s statement of accounts were due on 7 July 2015. Their annual confirmation of registered details was therefore due on or before 7 January 2016. The Electoral Commission did not receive the notification by this date and is required by law to remove the BNP from its register of political parties in Great Britain.
In truth they died at the ballot box years ago…
UPDATE:
Lots of media coverage over a small clerical error from a party that is supposed to be dead in the water. Re-registering now with the EC.
