BNP get an opinion poll boost following Nick Griffin's appearance on Question Time

The Telegraph report that the latest You Gov opinion poll shows that "More than a fifth of the public would consider voting for the British National Party". In more detail
"The survey found that 22 per cent of voters would “seriously consider” voting for the BNP in a future local, general or European election. This included four per cent who said they would “definitely” consider voting for the party, three per cent who would “probably” consider it, and 15 per cent who said they were “possible” BNP voters.

Two-thirds said they would not consider voting for the party “under any circumstances” with the rest unsure."
So that plan went well didn't it BBC? Or is the plan really to sow dissent and violence so that their newly armed police can take their revenge and then have an excuse to postpone the general election.

I think the answer is more straight forward. In their liberal outrage, the panel, chairman and large parts of the audience didn't give Griffin enough rope to hang himself.
What came over to the "non-political" viewer was bullying of the man they would have been interested to hear.
The man is clearly a buffoon but he's now able to attract some measure of public sympathy. To that extent the "expose his arguments to examination" idea backfired badly.
