If you'd have said that whilst canvassing, you found that at each house you went to, with a Union Jack flying outside, the people told you that they intended to vote for the BNP, fair enough, that is evidence of a link.

But to say you didn't even go there in the first place to talk to them, I cannot understand, and it makes me quite angry that someone who was chosen by the Labour party to represent them in an important election, perhaps lost many votes because of preconceived prejudices.
