Could Lutfur Rahman have won as a result of the BNP bloc vote? Let us see if it will have the same result in another election somewhere else.
Here is Archbishop Cranmer's take on things. He cannot make up his mind whom he hates more: Muslims or the Labour Party.

THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

His Grace hates neither.
And you conveniently and purposely misleadingly omit to mention the fact that he decries the removal of Mr Rahman as the Labour candidate and thereby supports the just outcome of this election.
Perhaps that makes you a Christianophobe.
Or perhaps you can't make up your mind whether you hate Tories or Christians the most.
I will have you know that I support family values and a small state, which makes me a Conservative.
It is true that I hate the Conservative Party of David Cameron.
Christianity is a failed religion that does not promote family values because it has been hijacked by feminists and is now liberalised, feminised and utterly unfit for purpose.
Secular Anglican Islam is the way forward, I believe.

Exploring the life of one of the most extraordinary Victorians- William 'Abdullah' Quilliam, who established the first community of English Muslims in Liverpool in the 1890s.
Born in 1856 he established himself as a successful and politically radical solicitor, and was active in both Unitarian and Temperance circles. In 1882 he visited both Morocco and Algeria, and he developed a deep fascination with Islam. He converted in 1887, taking the name Abdullah, and two years later he established Britain's earliest mosque.
Quilliam saw Liverpool's social ills 'poverty, prostitution, alcoholism' as a sign that Christian culture had failed.
I replied to some of Archbishop Cranmer's points as follows:
1. “His Grace does not know if Mayor Rahman is the Islamist supremacist alleged by Andrew Gilligan.”
Rahman was leader of Tower Hamlets council for 2 years from 2008 to 2010. If he had spent that time encouraging extremist groups it is very doubtful he would have survived in the post.
It is more to the point that allegations against Rahman were made (by two political rivals, Helal Abbas and Bill Turner) only after local Labour members had selected him as candidate and these allegations were not investigated. This was unjust and undemocratic.
2. “He does not know if Mayor Rahman has been attempting to ‘Islamicise’ the borough through the dissemination of extremist literature in Tower Hamlets’ public libraries. Or of he signed up entire families of sham ‘paper’ Labour members to win the party’s mayoral nomination.”
Since the publication of the Centre for Social Cohesion’s report “Hate on the State” in 2007, Tower Hamlets libraries have worked hard to remove any potentially extremist materials.
As for ‘sham paper members’, remember that voting for candidates was done in person at Labour HQ in Cambridge Heath Road.
I fail to see how a ‘sham paper member’ could actually turn up in person to vote and produce the necessary ID to participate in the selection process.
3. “The turnout was a meagre 25.6 per cent.”
This figure is comparable to the turnout in similar mayoral elections in Hackney, Lewisham and Newham, for example.
It would indicate that public interest in who becomes the local mayor does not appear to be very high.
Nevertheless, the voters of Tower Hamlets voted in a referendum earlier this year to create an elected mayor, so the local people's will has been followed.
4. “If the good people of Tower Hamlets are content to do nothing, they should not be surprised when evil triumphs.”
That would certainly be true if (a) local voters really had done nothing and (b) Rahman actually represented ‘evil’. However neither of those propositions appear to be true.
As a Tower Hamlets resident, I voted Lutfur Rahman as my first preference and Neil King – the Conservative – as my second choice.
This was intended to give the Independent candidate the maximum chance while depriving Labour of the benefit of the 2nd choice vote.
Labour deserved a good kick in the teeth.
Not only for deselecting the local Labour members' choice of candidate without good cause, but also for failing to select their second choice, John Biggs, simply on the grounds that he was white.
For 25 years the Labour party has exacerbated racial divisions in Tower Hamlets by their attempts to exploit the Bangladeshi vote.
Now it has turned round and bitten them.
Not before time.
