Does the BNP still exist?

I think the actual party itself still exists, but it's not what it once was.

Doesn't look like it, not really. Wikipedia said that they haven't fielded a candidate anywhere since 2019, and their Twitter account's last post was in August last year.
I think that UKIP pretty much destroyed the BNP because it was able to appeal to the same issues, but in a far more palatable way. I remember, years ago, that the BNP was experiencing a surge and gaining popularity, Nick Griffin went in Question Time... And then UKIP got popular and the BNP seemed to just quickly vanish.
Personally, I'm okay with that. I don't like UKIP, or whatever party Farage is wearing these days, but I like the BNP far less. I'm glad that they quietly died off.
