2014 EU/Local Election Thread - Predictions and Results

[Badgers]

Anyone got any photos of crushed looking LibDems or Tories?
Heads in hands, shocked disbelief or ideally some tears?

 

[Teaboy]

Despite a big and very visible campaign UKIP have had a miserable evening in my council wards. They pretty much came last in every ward which just underlines how poorly supported they are in London.

I read somewhere that the UKIP think Londoners are too educated, too cultural and too young to vote UKIP

Bowler drops to 3rd - Lab 3193, Ukip 894, MB 443, Greens 327, libs & tories 150 each

(she got 707 last time, and 865 in 2010, so hopefullt its just low enough to see her off)

 

[articul8]

Lib Dems took a proper kicking my way, down to only 1. So close! (that one survived on a recount)

 

[fucthest8]

[marty21]

ouch! Worst yet

getting beat by UKIP & LDems

 

[SpineyNorman]

Possible this could be a misprint because the TUSC vote is about 10 times what I'd expected but if not this is an interesting on - Broomhill:

Labour Party: Katherine Baker
Votes: 1412

Trade Unionists and Socialists Against Cuts: Rich Brown
Votes: 415

Conservative Party: Michael Lawrence Ginn
Votes: 357

Liberal Democrat: Harry Matthews
Votes: 501

UK Independence Party (UKIP): Pat Sullivan
Votes: 232

Green Party: Brian Charles Webster
Votes: 2010

 

[belboid]

the other report I've seen says 45

 

[Jon-of-arc]

Greens beating lib dems in every ward in Reading so, except one where established lib dem has held his place. Local rag blaming this win on UKIP splitting the Tory vote.

Yeah it is - just got a text through from the count. Thought this looked a bit high!

 

[belboid]

third ukipper. Bloody Stocksbridge shouldnt really be surprised

 

[Badgers]

Tories nudging ahead of LD's on losses 132/130

Yep, Labour consolidating their control of Reading, with Greens coming in 3rd, UKIP 4th and LD 5th.

Yep, Labour consolidating their control of Reading, with Greens coming in 3rd, UKIP 4th and LD 5th.

Labour 40.4%
Tories 23.3%
Greens 14.4%
UKIP 10.2%
Lib Dems 9%
Tusc 0.1%

With a couple of wards (incl a Green stronghold) to go.

 

[Nylock]

libdems starting to show 'clear yellow water' between themselves and the tories: 133/146

 

[Cid]

Crookes: Labour
Dore and Totley: Lib Dem
Ecclesall: Lib Dem
Stannington: Lib Dem
Fulwood: Lib Dem

Sadly Cleggland looks fairly safe. Disappointing.

Lost Crookes though, ha!

UKIP also beating the LibDems almost everywhere they stood in Reading.

What the fuck is wrong with Tilehurst though?

 

[chilango]

convincing holds for the Greens in Park Ward too.

 

[Teaboy]

What the fuck is wrong with Tilehurst though?

Its utterly nondescript, that and all the pubs are shit.

 

[belboid]

Lost Crookes though, ha!

their leader!

Daft fucker shifted his seat half way across the city to try to win. Deserved even more than most to lose

Where was he previously?

 

[chilango]

Labour 40.4%
Tories 23.3%
Greens 14.4%
UKIP 10.2%
Lib Dems 9%
Tusc 0.1%

With a couple of wards (incl a Green stronghold) to go.

Final shares:

Labour 38.6 31 seats (+5)
Tories 24.6. 10 (-2)
Green 16.4. 3 (0)
Lib Dems 8.4. 2 (-2)
UKIP 8.3. 0 (0)

Lib Dems squeaking 4th despite being beaten into 5th almost everywhere UKIP stood. Only saved by the wards with no UKIP candidates and the freaks on Tilehurst.

Good showing by the Greens.

 

[belboid]

Where was he previously?

Broomhill, so not that far actually (I'm sure he used to stand in the north-east of the city. That being where he lives). Greens romped home there, so he'd have lost anyway

 

[butchersapron]

@UKELECTIONS2015: The Patriotic Socialist party got 145 votes in Kirkburton, 49 more than the LIBDEMs.
