Labour 30% Tory 25% Lib Dem 12% UKIP 15% BNP 8% Independant Unionist 5% League of British Fascists 5%
So, the Fascists get eliminated in the first round (yay!), and we'll say their 2nd preference go to the BNP, with a 3rd preference to Tory when BNP get eliminated in the 3rd round
The unionists will also drain to the Tories (eventually).
Assume the BNP slip 3:1 to labour, and UKIP all to the Tories and after the lower votes are eliminated, down to the big 3, we end up with
Labour 36% Tory 52% Lib Dem 12%
A clear right-wing feeling in the constituency is respected by AV, but not by FPTP, which would elect Labour.
