My apologies, Guest. Actual numbers for those who care: BNP contested 119 seats; BNP lost their £500 deposit in 84 of those (to lose your deposit requires less than a 5% share of the vote). Direct quote from the BBC: "The BNP's share of the UK vote was about 0.74%."

I should have researched instead of trusting my memory - my fault. It still stands though that the BNP is far from "mainstream".
